ADA — Ohio Northern freshman Kirsten Lightel was named Ohio Athletic Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season.

Lightel went 2-0 last week, with a save, 19 innings pitched, 12 strikeouts, and a 0.00 ERA. 

The freshman threw two 2-hit shutouts, one against Baldwin Wallace and the other Marietta.

Her opponents hit just .098 off her during the week.

The Polar Bears return to action Thursday as they travel to Alma, Mich. for a double header beginning at 3:30 pm.
