MUNCIE, Ind. – Sophomore Kamilah Holle (Granger, Ind./Penn H.S.) has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Feb. 27.

The award is the first in Holle's career.  Holle started all five games at shortstop at the MT Strikeout Breast Cancer Classic in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. 

Holle ended the weekend with five hits including one double, and two home runs.  Her batting average was .428 and she managed to score four runs, recorded six RBIs and stole three bases.

"Kam Holle provided several clutch hits for us and overall had a good weekend," said BSU head coach Craig Nicholson.  "If we continue to make good swings at the plate, then I believe that we can have a serious candidate for this award every week."

Holle and the Cardinals will travel to Carbondale, Ill. to compete against Western Illinois in the SIU Tournament this weekend starting Sat., March 3 at 10: a.m.
