UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – The Saginaw Valley State University softball team took three of four contests last weekend, traveling to Ohio for the final tune-up for the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference season.

After dropping the first game of the weekend, SVSU rolled to three straight wins, including two victories on the mound by sophomore pitcher Julia Mundy, who has been named the GLIAC Softball Pitcher of the Week, it was announced on Monday.

The Greencastle, Ind., native made two appearances over the weekend, including a complete-game shutout of Cedarville University. Mundy tossed all seven innings, scattering seven hits, walking two, and striking out six.

In the first game at the University of Findlay on Saturday, Mundy went 4.2 innings, allowing six hits and one unearned run, while walking one and striking out six more batters.

Mundy is the second Cardinal to win the weekly GLIAC honor this season, joining Sarah Gersch, who was named the Player of the Week on Feb. 23.

The Cardinals open the 2021 GLIAC season at home with a doubleheader against Davenport University at 2:30 pm Tuesday at the SVSU Softball Complex. The game was moved from Wednesday due to forecasted inclement weather.
