CONFERENCE NEWS AND NOTES:

• Alabama State’s Laura Aguilar and Maddie Phelps were honored as SWAC Hitter and Pitcher of the Week, respectively. The last time two players from the same team earned the weekly honor was virtually a year ago today, when Jackson State’s Kelsey Townsend and Lyndsey Colvin accomplished the feat.

• Feb. 28-29 was a weekend that a few SWAC schools would like to forget, as member schools were no-hit four times over the course of the dates. Alcorn State was subject to the feat twice by No. 6 Louisiana-Lafayette, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Alabama A&M each suffered a no-hitter to Belmont and Kennesaw State, respectively.

• Arkansas-Pine Bluff’s Paige Garcia has opened the season on a tear, as her 19 RBIs thus far -- UAPB has had 15 games this season -- has already tied her RBI total from last season.

• Southern is currently mired in a seven-game slide after starting the season 3-0. It is the longest losing streak that the Jaguars have had under second-year coach John Garris, as last season Southern dropped no more than four games in a row. The current skid is the longest since a 23-game losing streak to open the 2014 season.

• Texas Southern’s Haley Smith is the only player in the SWAC that is hitting better than .500 thus far this season. She boasts an average of .529, which ties for for No. 23 in the nation in that category.
