Oklahoma’s Tiare Jennings was named Big 12 Softball Player of the Week for the second time this season while her teammate Shannon Saile and Oklahoma State’s Carrie Eberle shared Pitcher of the Week. It is also Eberle’s second award, collected in consecutive weeks.
 
Jennings went 11-for-17 in the box for a .647 batting average and hit four home runs with 10 RBIs and 23 total bases as she continued the impressive start to her freshman season at the Courtyard Marriott Tournament. She went 3-for-4 with two home runs in the Sooners’ series finale win over No. 18/17 Missouri. Additionally, the rookie did not register a strikeout all weekend and was perfect in the field, making appearances at second base, shortstop and third base, collecting seven assists and a pair of putouts.
 
In two appearances at the Courtyard Marriott Tournament, redshirt senior Saile struck out a combined 12 batters in her two starts, collecting wins in games vs. Louisiana Monroe and No. 18/17 Missouri. She allowed three hits and zero earned runs throughout the weekend. Saile struck out eight and allowed no runs on just two hits and one walk to the top-25 Tigers, leading OU to an 11-0 run-rule, shutout victory.
 
Eberle threw two complete game shutouts, including a no-hitter against Omaha. In 12 innings pitched, she gave up just four hits and three walks while striking out 11. The senior lowered her season ERA to 0.71.
