TU's Henshaw Named Hitter Of The Week

Tulsa senior right fielder Haley Henshaw was named the Conference USA Hitter of the Week after batting .750 with 10 RBI last week, the league office announced Monday.

Henshaw, a native of Catoosa, Okla., went 6-for-8 with a 1.250 slugging and .818 on-base percentage to lead the Golden Hurricane to four wins, including a three-game league sweep of Charlotte. She tallied a home run, a double and three walks, and alone scored or drove in 12 of Tulsa's 34 runs scored during the week.

In the series finale on Sunday, Henshaw went 2-for-2 with five RBI, including a two-run single and a three-run double. Saturday against Charlotte, she walked twice and scored in Game 1, and was 2-for-2 with a run and two RBI in Game 2. In Wednesday's non-conference contest against Bradley, she went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a two-run home run.

This is the second career C-USA weekly award for Henshaw.

The No. 17 Golden Hurricane (28-3, 6-0 C-USA) plays at Missouri State at 5 p.m. Wednesday. TU returns home next weekend, March 29-30, for a three-game set vs. UTEP.
