Softball: Lauren Cumbess

Went 3-0 on the week to become the first player in school history to win 20 games in a single season, surpassing former stars Chanda Bell and Keary Camunas … Started the week with seven strong innings against Marshall before a win against EKU where she allowed only one earned run … Best outing of the week came against No. 3 Florida, where she threw a complete game Saturday, allowing only three hits and two earned runs behind eight strikeouts … The win over UF moved her record to 20-4 … Followed that performance with 4.2 strong innings in relief on Sunday, allowing only two hits with one run with two strikeouts … Her 15 strikeouts this week moved her into eighth all-time on UK single-season strikeout list … Leads UK in nearly every pitching category.
