LATHAM, N.Y. -- Penn College softball's Mackenzi Tice (Mansfield, Pa.) was named United East Pitcher of the Week, announced by the conference office on Monday. Tice picked up her second Pitcher of the Week honor this season after a 5-1 record in the Wildcats' marathon week of five doubleheaders.

The sophomore ace accumulated 48 strikeouts and surrendered just eight earned runs in 36 innings of action over the week. She registered a 1.56 ERA and held the opposition to a .176 batting average through six appearances. Her best performance came against Penn State Berks where she struck out 11 and was one walk away from a perfect game in a 9-0 victory against the Lions on Saturday. Tice earned a second win in three relief innings of game two against Berks and scored a complete game victory against Penn State Abington on Tuesday with 14 combined strikeouts. Tice also tossed 10 Ks in a 2-0 nonconference victory at Mount Aloysius on Thursday.
