For the second time this season, and following a historic weekend at the plate, SAU softball’s Brooke Goad has been named the Great American Conference’s Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Goad became Division II’s All-Time Career Home Run leader as she blasted her 80th career home run in the second game of SAU’s series with Harding. Additionally, she tied the Division II career record for walks after receiving nine base-on-balls this past weekend.
A native of Waxahachie, Texas, Goad went 5-for-7 with four RBI, five runs scored and a 1.143 slugging percentage, while also reaching base in 87.5% of her plate appearances.
Tuesday’s honor is the second for Goad this season and marks the eleventh time this season that a Lady Mulerider has been honored by the conference.
