WASHINGTON - University of Dayton softball sophomore Katelin Goodwin and senior Izzy Kemp have earned the Atlantic 10's Under Armour Player and Pitcher of the Week Awards as announced by the league office Tuesday. 

Saint Louis freshman Allie Branstetter earned Rookie of the Week honors. The awards are for games played from Feb. 9 to Feb. 15. 

Goodwin put together a strong performance at Elon's Phoenix Invitational over the week, going 5-of-9 (.556) at the plate with seven RBI, and five walks to lead the Flyers to four victories in four games. The catcher/first baseman from Pendleton, Ind., knocked out her first home run of the season in a 10-1 win over Manhattan on Friday, sending another homer over the outfield fence the next day against Elon. She drove in four RBI in the latter matchup, including what would prove to be the game-winner in a 9-8, come-from-behind Flyer win.
 
Kemp turned in a 2-0 weekend for the Flyers with one save, one complete game, and 23 strikeouts over 12.0 innings pitched to earn her second consecutive A-10 Pitcher of the Week accolade. The right-handed pitcher from Westfield, Ind. tossed a complete game against Manhattan on Friday, allowing just one run before closing out Dayton's win over Elon the next day to earn the save. Kemp pitched 4.0 innings of relief on Saturday against Mount St. Mary's, striking out 10 of the 13 batters she faced.

UP NEXT
UD will take this coming weekend off before returning to action at Kentucky's John Cropp Classic Feb. 27-March 1. Dayton will play a total of five games against Michigan State, Murray State and host Kentucky at UK's John Cropp Stadium in Lexington.
