TULSA, Okla. - Tulsa senior Aimee Creger was named Conference USA Pitcher of the Week for the fourth time this season after pitching a no-hitter and striking out 42 batters in 18.0 innings last week, the league office announced Monday.
Creger earned three shutout victories, including two wins over UTEP and a win at Missouri State.

She gave up just one hit on Saturday in a 17-strikeout seven-inning performance against UTEP. Wednesday at Missouri State, she tallied 13 strikeouts and allowed one hit and one walk in six innings of a combined shutout.
This is 12th C-USA Pitcher of the Week award of Creger's career.
