FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Salisbury freshman Jillian Jones & senior Shannon Powell swept the CAC Softball Players of the Week for April 1, 2019.

Player of the Week

Jillian Jones | Salisbury | Fr. | OF

Lynchburg, Va. | E.C. Glass

Salisbury freshman Jillian Jones was stellar throughout Salisbury's 4-0 week, but saved her most important hits for a DH sweep of Penn St. Harrisburg. In the opener, ahead 3-0 in the sixth inning, Jones belted her first collegiate home run -- a three-run shot -- to put the game out of reach. In the second game of the double dip, Salisbury needed a seventh-inning run to tie the game and force extras. In the bottom of the ninth inning, with two outs, Jones came to the plate with a chance to end the game and did just that, sending a single to left field, scoring Dakotah Fraley from third base for the 5-4, walk-off victory.

Shannon Powell | Salisbury | Sr. | P

Rockville, Md. | Richard Montgomery
