WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference office has announced its weekly honors, and for the second time this season Nova Southeastern’s

In a 4-0 win in the series opener, DeMuth did not surrender a single hit or walk, while striking out 12. In a 16-0 win in game two, she scattered three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts over five innings. DeMuth was also a force at the plate, driving in seven runs with a grand slam and a three-run homer in the fifth inning.
