BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University freshman righthander Olivia Hargreaves has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Softball Pitcher of the Week.

A native of Weare, New Hampshire, Hargreaves went 2-0 with one complete game in four appearances (two starts) in the circle last week at the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic in Little River and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Hargreaves allowed just one run on three hits over six full innings with a walk and six strikeouts in a 9-1 (6 Inn.) win over Penn State-Beaver. She also tossed 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief giving up just two hits with two walks and six strikeouts to earn the victory in a 12-8 win over Penn College, and gave up three runs (one earned) on four hits over four innings with a walk and a strikeout in her collegiate debut, a 5-4 triumph over Saint Elizabeth.

The BSU softball team is currently 6-3 on the young season. The Bears entertain the Cadets of Norwich University in a non-conference doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. Game one is slated to get underway at 12:30.
