Redshirt freshman Taylor Roby earns her first weekly honor after helping the Cards to a 4-0 record last week
The University of Louisville's Taylor Roby was named ACC Softball Player of the Week for the period ending April 21.
Â
Roby (Mt. Washington, Ky.) helped lead the Cardinals to a 4-0 record on the week. The redshirt freshman posted a .429 batting average (6-for-14) with two doubles, a triple and a home run and produced a .929 slugging percentage while driving in a team-best seven runs and scoring four. She reached base in each of Louisville's games and recorded at least one RBI in three of four contests.
Â
In Louisville's midweek upset of No. 24/23 Kentucky, Roby's walk-off single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh lifted the Cardinals to an 8-7 win over in-state rival. In that game, she had two hits and drove in two runs. She also picked up the win in the circle.
Â
Last weekend, Roby hit .444 (4-for-9) with four runs and five RBIs in the series sweep of Georgia Tech. In the series finale, Roby collected a career-high three hits with four RBIs with a pair of doubles and a home run to help lead the Cardinals to a dramatic 11-10 win in their first ACC sweep of the season.
Â
The Cardinals (31-15, 11-7) will travel to Huntington, W.Va. for a midweek game at Marshall on Tuesday before returning to Ulmer Stadium for their final home weekend of the season.
