GREENSBORO, N.C. – Following her weekend of racking up 46 strikeouts, Virginia Tech softball pitcher Keely Rochard was named ACC Pitcher of the Week on Wednesday, as announced by the league office.
The Williamsburg, Virginia native earns the honor for the first time this season and the seventh time of her storied career.
Rochard (11-1) had quite the week, and really, weekend, with not pitching in the Hokies' (15-4, 10-4 ACC) midweek games, racking up 46 strikeouts and throwing three one-hitters against Pitt (9-14, 4-9) and went a perfect 3-0 on the weekend, while only surrendering three walks in 18.0 innings of work.
Earlier in the week, Rochard was named NFCA National Pitcher of the Week, too. The righty also won the award back on Feb. 23, following her outings against, now, two ranked foes (Clemson, Florida State).
