OMAHA, Neb. - Senior pitcher Dana Elsasser picked up her second Summit League Pitcher of the Week Award this season, the conference office announced on Monday. Elsasser shared the award with North Dakota State's Krista Menke.

Elsasser pitched a one-hitter in an 8-0 (6 inn.) win over Dayton on Saturday. She struck out seven batters. Elsasser pitched 4.1 no-hit innings before Dayton's first and only hit of the game. On Sunday, Elsasser was dominant against host Colorado State, throwing all 7.0 innings with four hits and four strikeouts to help the Mavs win 4-0 and finish with the best record at the tournament at 2-1.
On the weekend, opponents hit just .114 against Elsasser. Her 13 scoreless innings dropped her ERA to 1.47 this season and she is now 11-3 overall, the most wins by a Summit League pitcher.
