Rodriguez Honored By Conference

MOBILE, Ala-- The University of Mobile's Karla Rodriguez was named the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for the week ending March 2nd.

Rodriguez appeared in both games on the week, getting one start and making one relief appearance. The freshman made that one start memorable, as she no-hit 19th-ranked Biola University to lead the Lady Rams to an 8-0 victory. She was perfect through the first 4 innings of action before a pair of walks ended the bid for perfection.

Pior to that start, the Houston, TX native came out of the bullpen against #3 Point Loma Nazarene and worked 1.1 scoreless innings to keep her team in the game. But, the Lady Rams couldn't pull out the win and the Sea Lions walked away with the 4-1 victory.

On the week, Rodriguez tallied 7.1 shutout innings on the mound, allowed only 1 hit and fanned 6.

The Lady Rams (8-2) host LSU-Alexandria March 11th for a 2:00 double header. That will be the first games of the year against a team outside the NAIA Top-25.
