Tuskegee’s Foye garners SIAC’s POTW honor
ATLANTA, GA (goldentigersports.com) — The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) announced their weekly awards in softball this week and senior Karisa Foye was named the conference Player of the Week for her performance against LeMoyne-Owen.
Foye put together a week at the plate that was nearly unmatched. The senior was officially credited with just six at-bats, but made 10 plate appearances in a three-game sweep of LeMoyne-Owen. Foye finished the week hitting .667, going 4-for-6 with two doubles and her first home run of the season. The senior scored three runs, knocked in six more and walked four times (while not striking out in 10 plate appearances). Foye also slugged 1.500 last week and recorded an on-base percentage of .800. As if her hitting wasn’t enough, the senior also went 1-0 last week as she pitched a complete game against LeMoyne-Owen. She did not allow a run off of two hits, while striking out seven.
Tuskegee (16-27, 14-4 SIAC) is in action later today against Miles College in a doubleheader beginning at 3 pm at Parker High School in Birmingham. With a pair of wins in the series, the Lady Golden Tigers will clinch the top seed in the SIAC West Division for the upcoming SIAC Softball Championships later this month
