INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) announced its first baseball players of the week on Tuesday afternoon and Trevecca Nazarene University claimed both the pitcher/player of the week honors for the South Division. Jake Roberson and Ethan Harrison earned the awards respectively.

On the softball side, Morgan Powell of Trevecca took home the pitcher of the week honors.

 
South Division Player of the Week
Ethan Harrison
Trevecca
Second Base
Junior
Erlanger, KY (Dixie Heights HS)
 
Harrison helped the Trojans salvage a season-opening split against Montevallo with extra-base pop that the league has grown accustomed to in his career thus far.
 
He doubled twice, once in each game, to go 3-for-7 with three runs scored against the Falcons. He also stole a base and reached on a hit-by-pitch.
 
Harrison entered the spring among the Great Midwest's best hitters of all-time with a minimum of 250 at-bats in their career. He is sporting a .359 batting average in his first two years in the league, coming in at ninth in the conference career record books.
 
 
South Division Pitcher of the Week
Jake Roberson
Trevecca
Left-Handed Pitcher
Sophomore
Springfield, TN (Springfield HS)
 
Roberson impressed with the winning decision in the box score against Montevallo, TNU's first win of the 2018 campaign.
 
He saw relief action in both games of the doubleheader, combining for 3.2 scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
 
Roberson was the fifth TNU pitcher deployed against UM in game one and worked a clean top half of the ninth inning.
 
In game two, he preserved a gem from starter Drew Pierce, who worked five scoreless frames, while the TNU offense broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the eighth inning.

Pitcher of the Week
Morgan Powell
Trevecca
Right-Handed Pitcher
Junior
Mt. Juliet, TN (Wilson Central HS)
 
Powell earned her second career weekly conference honors (Feb. 2016) with a strong start to the season in the circle for the Trojans.
 
TNU was another participant in the Charger Chillout 2.0 hosted by Alabama-Huntsville and played four programs all from the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
 
Powell dazzled in her first start of the spring, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning against regional opponent UIndy. Despite a tough finish that included two defensive miscues to aid a Greyhounds walk-off rally, the junior fanned seven in 6.1 innings.
 
Both runs scored against her were unearned as she was tagged with a tough-luck loss.
 
She also started the next day against Southern Indiana and logged 2.1 innings against Missouri-St. Louis, racking up a combined seven more strikeouts.
 
In three appearances with a complete game, Powell turned in a 2.80 ERA with 14 punchouts in 15 frames. She held opponents to just a .154 batting average.
