Brown named Frontier Player of the Week

HELENA, Mont. -- Bellevue University junior catcher Marguerite Brown was named the Frontier Conference Softball Player of the Week after her performances last week during the Bruins' spring break trip to the Space Coast Spring Games in Melbourne, Fla.

A native of Chatham, Ontario, Brown batted .542 (13-for-24) over six games as Bellevue went 3-3 on the week. She totaled four doubles, one home run, four RBIs and five runs scored while producing a .833 slugging percentage and a .542 on-base percentage.

Brown recorded hits in all six games during the week and posted five straight multi-hit games. She also enters the Bruins' home-opening series riding an eight-game hitting streak. Among her four doubles on the week was one in Bellevue's 3-0 upset of No. 6 Madonna University.

Brown also contributed defensively, totaling 34 chances with 31 putouts and two assists while posting a .971 fielding percentage.
