WICHITA, Kan. – A red-hot weekend in Orlando has earned Wichita State senior Zoe Jones Player of the Week honors by the American Athletic Conference.

The Mustang, Okla., native busted out of a home run slump in a big way at UCF. Jones was 6-for-11 at the plate in Orlando, including a double, two home runs, five runs scored and seven RBI. In Wichita State’s 6-0 win Saturday, she was 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. Her three hits tied a career high. In the series finale, Jones smashed her first career grand slam during the Shockers’ seven-run second inning. She finished the day 2-for-4 with a double, home run and five RBI.

The American also named Lauren Howell to the weekly honor roll. The junior pitcher was 1-0 in three appearances. In the UCF series, Howell threw a complete game shutout in Saturday’s 6-0 win to go with three strikeouts. She then recorded the final three outs in Sunday’s finale.

Wichita State hosts Omaha on Wednesday at 5 p.m. before another big conference series this weekend against South Florida.
