Billie Andrews’ hot streak is earning more recognition.
The Nebraska sophomore shortstop was named Big Ten player of the week after leading the Husker offense last week.
In four games, two against Wichita State and two against South Dakota State, Andrews hit .500 with five homers and 10 RBIs while slugging 1.750. Andrews homered in each game. Two homers went over the tall scoreboard in left field.
Andrews, who has 12 homers, becomes the third Husker softball to be named Big Ten player of the week, joining Abbie Squier (Feb. 14) and Sydney Gray (Feb. 21).
