Player of the Week
Noel Byers (Iron Mountain, Mich.), Senior, Second Baseman, Norwich University
As the lone senior on the NU softball team this season, Byers had a memorable final week of the regular season by registering a hit in all eight games played on the week, including at least two hits in six of the games. She went 14-for-26 overall with 11 runs scored. Byers also played an integral role in helping NU sweep Emerson for the first-time ever with the go-ahead two-RBI hit to lift the Cadets to a 6-5 lead in the first game and then a game-tying two-run home run in Game 2 before the Cadets won in a walk-off in the bottom of the seventh. Sunday's victories were the first time NU had beaten Emerson in Byers' four years on the team.
