Drexel's Hillary Allen Named CAA Softball Co-Pitcher of the Week

Philadelphia - Junior Hillary Allen has been named CAA Co-Pitcher of the Week for her performance during the week ending on April 17. Allen went 3-0 from the circle last week, including a pair of conference victories in the Dragons' CAA sweep of UNC Wilmington. Allen shares the honor with Towson's Katie Lingmai.

Allen's performance on the week helped Drexel to a 4-1 record. She posted a stingy 1.05 ERA with a 3-0 record and 23 strikeouts in 20 innings on the rubber.

She threw a complete-game six-inning shutout at La Salle on Tuesday and recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts in the win. In Wilmington over the weekend, Allen was the winning pitcher of record in two of the team's three victories in a sweep of the Seahawks. She also hit a two-run homer in Drexel's 3-2 win over UNC Wilmington in the series finale.

Allen leads the Dragons back into action at Drexel Field this week in a game against Penn on Wednesday before the team hits the road for a three-game set at George Mason.
