Junior shortstop Bianka Bell was named Southeastern Conference Softball Player of the Week for the first time in her career Monday after helping LSU win its weekend series against previously undefeated No. 1 Florida.
Bell went 10-for-14 at the plate in the three games this weekend. She drove in eight runs, and her home run Sunday gave the Tigers a 6-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Bell’s efforts earned her a 1.000 slugging percentage and .714 on-base percentage.
Bell’s performance this weekend bolstered her yearly numbers, resulting in a .545 batting average, an on-base percentage of .590 and a slugging percentage of 1.000. Bell has now hit nine home runs, driven in 41 runs and collected 88 total bases.
LSU hosts Nicholls State at 6 p.m. tomorrow at Tiger Park.
