Shelby Voelz has been voted as The State Hornet Athlete of the week after her remarkable performance against the University of San Diego on April 16 and 17.

The sophomore threw shutouts on back-to-back days against host San Diego.

In her appearance on Saturday, Voelz gave up five hits and walked three while striking out four. However, she looked even sharper in her second shutout against the Toreros. She gave up four hits and one walk while striking out five.

For her efforts, the communication studies major was awarded the Pacific Coast Softball Conference’s Pitcher of the Week award for the second time this season and the third time in her young career.

For the season, Voelz has an 8-15 record with a 3.21 ERA. She leads the team in appearances, innings, games started and shutouts.
