Penn State Behrend's Lubic Named AMCC Softball Player of the Week
Penn
State Behrend outfielder Lauren Lubic (Bridgeville/South Fayette) was named the AMCC Softball Player of
the Week for the week of May 5. The senior came through big in her
last AMCC Tournament, leading the effort as the blue and white rallied for
five straight wins to storm back and capture the 2008 AMCC Championship.
In the AMCC Tournament (May 2-4), Lubic batted .370 (10-for-27) with four
doubles. She scored eight runs in the tournament to go with six key
RBIs. Five of her ten hits in the tournament came in the final three
games, helping to secure the second AMCC title in three seasons for the
Behrend Lions. This is the first conference player of the week honor
for Lubic this season.
The blue and white (33-12) now head to the NCAA Tournament to compete in
opening round play in an eight-team regional on Thursday, May 8 at Ithaca
College. Behrend will face Ramapo (33-10) at 4:00 p.m. and play again on
Friday in a game to be determined based on Thursday's results.
