SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Katie Boyd was named Southern Conference Player of the Week.

The honor is Boyd’s second-consecutive to begin the season and fourth of her career. Jennifer Golden of College of Charleston was the last person to win in back-to-back weeks as she did in 2007. Boyd hit .700 over the weekend at the Kickin’ Chicken Classic as she was 7-for-10 and had multi-hit games in 3-for-4 ASU games. She went 2-for-2 against both Virginia Tech and Coastal Carolina and went 2-for-4 with three RBI’s in the win over Maine. She had only one hit against Western Carolina but had a season-high four RBIs. In the four games, the sophomore had 10 RBIs, five runs scored, two home runs and was walked four times, three intentionally.

 

We got a chance to watch her in Myrtle Beach and she had a great weekend. Not only impressive at the plate but also made some nice plays in the field. Unassisted double play against Coastal probably saved the game. Very deserving of player of the week.

 

. - Appalachian State University third baseman Katie Boyd was named first team All-Mideast region, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Thursday.

A sophomore, Boyd led the Southern Conference in seven offensive categories, including a single-season school record 17 home runs and SoCon single-season records in slugging percentage, .879, on base percentage, .590, and walks with 64. Her 64 walks lead the nation and she ranks third in on base percentage, seventh in slugging and is tied for eighth in home runs. The 64 walks is also the 10th best in NCAA division I history and her 23 intentional walks is tied for the fourth most ever.

Boyd finished the season with a .386 batting average and led the SoCon with 46 runs scored, 45 RBI and 116 total bases and finished sixth with 15 stolen bases. She was also solid defensively finishing second on the team with 111 assists.

The all-region honor is the first of career, though she has earned all-conference honors in each of her first two seasons.
Great season!!!!
