AMERICUS, Ga. — Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes shortstop Lani Dansby has been named Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week, the league office announced Monday, following another strong showing at the plate.
Dansby continued her impressive freshman campaign by hitting .529 across five games, recording nine hits in 17 at-bats while scoring five runs and driving in four. She posted multiple hits in three contests, consistently setting the tone for the Lady Hurricanes' offense.
The freshman from Harris County, Ga., delivered one of her top performances of the week in a win over USC Beaufort, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI's, and a walk while also swiping two bases. She followed that performance with another multi-hit effort in the series finale, finishing 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Dansby also contributed in the midweek matchup against West Alabama, recording hits in both games of the doubleheader.
On the season, Dansby has steadily improved her numbers and now carries a .338 batting average, to go along with 11 doubles and 26 RBI's. Dansby's back-to-back selections mark another strong stretch for the Lady Hurricanes' rising talent and highlight her growing impact within the Peach Belt Conference.
The Lady Hurricanes return to action Friday, May 1, traveling to face the Flagler Saints in their final regular season series.
