HITTER
Kourtney Coveney, West Texas A&M University, SO, Infielder, Houston, Texas, Katy HS

double, triple and two homeruns to drive in six RBI with 15 total bases for a slugging percentage of 1.667 with

PITCHER

hits in four outings with a pair of one-hit performances. The Henderson, Nevada, native clinched the series
with Texas Woman’s and secured the sweep in back-to-back games. She held teams to a .074 batting average
in four appearances.
OTHER TOP PERFORMERS
Meghann Wrinkle, Tarleton State University, had the best weekend of her Tarleton career by far last weekend
as the junior outfielder from Lexington was a serious catalyst for a record-setting offensive weekend for the
TexAnns. Wrinkle led the TexAnns with a .667 batting averaging in a team high 15 at bats. She went 10-for-15 at
the dish to lead the team with 10 base hits in the four-game sweep as well as leading the team with nine runs
scored and six stolen bases after going a perfect 6-for-6 on the base paths. Wrinkle’s efforts helped Tarleton set
a new school record for runs scored in a 25-1 victory in game two of the series. In addition to her team-leading
efforts, she also had one double and her first career triple to go along with four RBI and a perfect 1.000 fielding
percentage in the outfield.
Cameron Conrad, Eastern New Mexico University, batted .600 last week, to lead the Eastern New Mexico
University softball team to a Lone Star Conference series sweep over visiting University of Texas of the Permian
Basin. She scored a team-best six runs and also paced the squad with six hits with two in each game. In Friday’s
series opener, Conrad bashed the first homerun of her Greyhound career.
Roxy Chapa, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, led the Hogs with a .571 batting average in five games this
week... the backstop registered two home runs and eight RBI against regional foes St. Mary’s and A&M-
Commerce... the Javelinas took the LSC series over the Lions 2-1... defensively, Chapa gunned out Higgs at
second to give the speedster her first caught stealing... prior to that, she was a perfect 31-of-31.
Mariah Jameyson, Texas A&M University-Commerce, a junior from Seattle, Wash., had a monster week.
She hit .565 (13-for-23), including five home runs. She scored 12 runs while totaling 11 RBIs and touched 30
total bases in seven games. Jameyson had at least one hit in each of her seven games last week and has had a
base hit in 11-consecutive games. She has also hit seven home runs in her last eight games. She had a .655 on
base percentage and a 1.304 slugging percentage last week. She drew six walks and struck out only once in 29
plate appearances. As a catcher, Jameyson caught all four base runners who tried to steal against her. She had
29 putouts and assisted four times. She leads the Lone Star Conference in total bases and is second in home
runs, RBIs and slugging percentage and fourth in hits. She has thrown out 10 would-be base stealers in 14 steal
attempts this season, allowing runners just a .286 stolen base percentage.
Kayleigh Williams, Tarleton State University, kept Western New Mexico off the board with her first career
complete game shutout. The junior right-hander threw all seven innings in Tarleton’s 6-0 win in game three of
the series, allowing just five hits and striking out a pair.
Kaylee Rogers, Eastern New Mexico University, pitched 17.2 of last weekend’s 18 innings and earned three
victories as ENMU swept their Lone Star Conference series against University of Texas of the Permian Basin.
After tossing a complete-game shutout in Friday’s series opener, she entered the second game and allowed just
one earned run over 6.2 innings of work. Over the three contests, Rogers fanned eight batters and allowed just
one walk. Her 12 wins is the most by an ENMU pitcher since Nicole Dickson won 16 in the 2007 season.
Katie Dean, Texas A&M University-Commerce, was called upon often for the Lions last week in a stretch
that included seven games in five days. Dean pitched two complete games back-to-back against Texas A&M-
