BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — For the second straight week a University of West Alabama softball player took home Gulf South Conference Eastern Division Player of the Week honors, as Shannon Goggins received the award as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.

Goggins, a senior third baseman, helped the Tigers win their third award in the past five weeks as West Alabama went 6-3. She batted .480 at the plate, while helping the Tigers reach a 19-12 overall mark.

Goggins had 12 hits on the week, and an outstanding 15 runs batted in on the back of six extra base hits. She also had four multiple-hit games during that span, and clubbed a home run while posting a .505 on-base percentage.

Earning GSC Eastern Division Pitcher of the Week was UAH’s Sage Woodham, who pitched the Lady Chargers past No. 12 Florida Southern.

West Alabama returns to action at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, March 17 as the Tigers open conference play against UAH at the UWA Softball Complex.
