NASHVILLE, Tenn. --Trevecca University's Shelby Andrews and Haley Fagan were named the Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association on Tuesday for their performances for March 14-20. Andrews batted .571 (8-for-14) with one doubles, four runs scored and six RBIs in six games for the Trojans. The Dyersburg, Tenn., native collected two hits with a walk and two RBIs in the first game against Lee University and added two more hits with a double and a run scored in the second contest versus the Flames.

Rivalries don't have to be ancient. From March 30, 2010 to March 27, 2014 the Cornersville Lady Bulldogs dominated District 11-A foe Mt. Pleasant 10-0, but since that 4-2 win at Maury County two years ago, the Lady Tigers have knocked Cornersville out of the district tournament twice and have won four-of-seven games in the series. The latest setback for Cornersville was a heartbreaker, losing 2-0 in 9 innings in Frog Bottom Tuesday night.
