COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - University of Utah junior Generra Nielson was awarded her second Mountain West Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week honor on Tuesday, the conference office announced.
Nielson earned the decision in two of Utah's three victories last week as the Utes swept a doubleheader at George Mason and won a single game at Georgetown. She had 17 strikeouts in 10.0 innings of work and did not allow a run while scattering seven hits. She only issued three walks over the week and now stands 11-10 in 2011.
Nielson leads the MWC with 130 strikeouts this season, compared to only 26 walks. She is second in the league with 106.0 innings pitched and wins (11).
In the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader at George Mason, a 4-0 victory, Nielson earned the win after going 6.0 innings and not allowing a run on four hits with only one walk and 11 strikeouts. The Patriots only got one runner to third base the entire game.
Nielson, a native of Blanding, Utah, started on the mound for the Utes and worked the first 4.0 innings Wednesday at Georgetown in a 4-1 win. She did not allow an earned run to the Hoyas on three hits to go with six strikeouts and two walks.
Utah opens its 2011 home season with a doubleheader Wednesday against Boise State. First pitch from Ute Softball Field is set for 2 p.m.
