WACO, Texas -- Katie Poirier of the University of the Southwest (N.M.) earned recognition as the Red River Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week for Feb. 1-7 while her teammate, Ruby Garza, was named the RRAC Softball Pitcher of the Week for the same dates.

 Poirier, a junior first baseman from Miami, Fla., was 3-for-6 with a pair of RBIs in a double-header sweep of Sul Ross State University (Texas). She was 2-for-3 with a home run in a 4-3 first-game victory before adding a hit, RBI and run scored en route to a 9-2 win in the second game. The games were the first of the 2010 season for the Lady Mustangs.

Garza, a senior pitcher from El Paso, Texas, scattered six hits over seven innings to earn the victory in the 4-3 win over SRSU. All three runs were unearned, and Garza struck out two hitters.
