INDIANAPOLIS – Trevecca Nazarene University enjoyed a perfect non-conference stretch to collect Great Midwest Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week honors for Bailey Alexander on Monday afternoon.
 
Trevecca won four games against Black Hills State after the Music City Invitational was washed out due to weather conditions.
 
Only five Great Midwest teams have officially started the spring season as Alderson Broaddus played four contests and Findlay was able to get two games in back on Feb. 3.
 
Lingering weather conditions continue to force tweaks into team's schedules as they get ready for conference play.

Alexander made a bid for the single-game conference records with a 7-RBI effort against Black Hills State, one shy of tying the record of eight done twice by former Salem All-American Katie Chryssofos.
 
In four games, she was 7-of-13 at the plate with 11 RBI and eight runs scored. Alexander homered twice and drew a pair of walks as the Trojans outscored Black Hills State, 48-10.
 
Three of the contests were shortened to five innings as the bats came alive for TNU, which improved to 5-3 overall.
 
Alexander had an inning to remember with two home runs, including a grand slam in the bottom of the fifth frame of game one. She trotted around the bases with the grand slam, her first of the year, with no outs in the inning.
 
As TNU batted around against Black Hills State, Alexander unloaded on another pitch for a three-run blast that scored Morgan Powell and Dallas Richards. It capped an 11-run frame after MaKray Odom led off the game with a solo shot.
 
Three days later, Alexander went 4-for-4 at the plate with three RBI and four runs scored in game one of another twinbill vs. the Yellow Jackets.
 
She has matched her home run total from a year ago already and after suffering a season-ending injury that cut her promising 2016 short, is looking to recapture the form that made her a first team all-conference pick as a rookie.
