April 22, 2008 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - BYU senior Daniela Snow and San Diego State senior Megan McDonald have been named Mountain West Conference Softball Co-Players of the Week, while San Diego State senior lefthander Christina Ross has earned Pitcher of the Week honors. Snow, from Corona, Calif., led BYU to a 2-1 record last week. Against Utah Valley, she batted 1.000 (4-for-4) with three home runs, including a grand slam to bring in the first four runs of the game. Snow belted another homer in her next at-bat, while also managing a single and a third home run in the fifth inning to combine for eight RBI in the game, marking a new school record. In the first game against Utah, she again batted 1.000, going 2-for-2 and driving in another run to help the Cougars to a five-inning, 8-0 victory. McDonald, a Glendale, Ariz., native, led the Aztecs to a 5-0 away record over the weekend. McDonald exploded for three home runs in five games against MWC foes New Mexico and Colorado State. She posted a hit in all five games, including three hits and the game-winning RBI against cross-town rival San Diego. McDonald led SDSU in batting average (.474), hits (19), home runs (3), RBI (6) and slugging percentage (.947), while posting a perfect fielding percentage in a team-high 29 chances. Ross, hailing from Santa Clarita, Calif., played a significant part in all five of SDSU's wins last week. She went 4-0 with one save in 22 1/3 innings of work. Over the week, Ross pitched two complete games, including a shutout, while holding opponents to a .228 batting average. She allowed only two earned runs and four walks, while striking out 15 batters. -mwc-
