WINONA LAKE – Freshman Chandler Elliott swept the Crossroads League weekly honors for Grace’s softball team on Monday.

Elliott was named the Pitcher of the Week and the Player of the Week as she led Grace on offense and defense.

The freshman standout excelled for Grace at the plate and on the mound. Offensively, she hit safely in all eight games last week in Florida. Elliott was sizzling at the plate with a .481 batting average, pounding out 13 hits, 5 doubles and 1 triple. She scored a run in each of the final five games in Florida and had four multi-hit games for the Lady Lancers.

On the mound for Grace, Elliott posted a 2.49 ERA in 19.2 innings. The hurler picked up two complete-game victories from the mound, including one over Bellevue who is receiving votes in the NAIA Preseason Top 25 Preseason Poll. She also tossed seven innings of one-run ball to defeat Point Park. Additionally, she earned a save over Bellevue in the second matchup of the squads in Grace’s 4-3 victory.

The Lady Lancers head to Hattiesburg, Miss., this weekend for a tournament at William Carey. Grace will play the NAIA No. 2-ranked William Carey on Friday.
