McCants Repeats as CAA Pitcher of the Week
RICHMOND, VA. – Carli McCants has been named the CAA Pitcher of the Week for
the second straight week after tossing two shutouts against Towson and putting the Cougars on the brink of qualifying for the conference tournament.
McCants opened the series with a four-hitter and nine strikeouts in a 2-0 win. After Mia Dittoe put the Cougars ahead with a home run in the fourth, McCants did
not allow a baserunner the rest of the way, retiring the final 13 Tigers.
She closed the series with a 1-0 victory on Sunday, surrendering only three hits while fanning five in her third shutout and eighth complete game of the season.
McCants recorded her 100th strikeout of the year in the fifth inning.
Over her past five appearances covering 30.2 innings, she has allowed 12 hits and two runs (one earned) while striking out 37 and lowering her ERA to 2.23, the fifth-best
mark in the CAA. McCants is also fourth in strikeouts (103), innings (116.1) and opponent batting average (.226).
The Cougars wrap up the regular season with three games at Delaware on Friday and Saturday. They need one win or one Drexel loss to UNCW to clinch a spot in the
CAA Tournament.
