ATLANTA, Ga. – An incredible week at the plate earned Kennesaw State third baseman Taylor Cates ASUN Player of the Week honors, the conference office announced Monday.
The Canton, Ga. native went 9-for-20 at the plate this week with three runs, 11 RBI and 18 total bases.
Against RV UCF and Toledo she posted back-to-back games with multiple hits, 3 RBI and two doubles in each game.
Her batting average stood at .450 during KSU's six games with a .900 slugging percentage and a .476 on-base percentage. She tallied six extra-base hits including four doubles, one triple and one homer.
