Otis Named ACC Softball Co-Player of the Week

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The University of Louisville's Korbe Otis has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Softball Co-Player of the Week as announced on April 11. She shares the honor with Virginia Tech's Kelsey Brown.

This marks the third weekly award of the season for Otis, who also earned the nod on February 28 and March 28.

Otis (Littleton, Colo.) registered an impressive .900 batting average (9-for-10) with a double, a triple and a home run while scoring four runs and driving in three in Louisville's three-game series against Notre Dame. On the weekend she also posted a 1.200 slugging percentage and a .917 on-base percentage.

The centerfielder had at least one hit in each game, extending her reached base streak via a hit or walk to 30 games. She went 4-for-4 with three runs in Louisville's 13-6 loss on Friday, tying a school record for hits in a game. On Saturday, she matched the mark again, this time with two singles, a double and a triple – a home run short of the cycle.

With her triple in Saturday's game, Otis extended her ACC-leading total to six on the season.

The Cardinals (25-12) will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Bloomington, Ind., for a midweek matchup at Indiana University.
