LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Notre Dame’s Karina Gaskins and Northwestern’s Danielle Williams earned Division I Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player and Wilson/NFCA Pitcher of the Week honors. The duo is being recognized for their outstanding play for the week of March 14-20.

Over a five-game stretch, Gaskins hit .750 (12-for-16) with a double, two home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs scored. She registered four multi-hit and multi-RBI contests, while scoring at least once and driving in a run in all five games. In an ACC sweep of Pitt, Gaskins knocked in a run in each matchup, including three RBI in games one and three. She also drew three walks, contributing to her .789 on-base percentage and slugged 1.188. The junior from Edison, N.J. also registered a career-high four hits in a mid-week win against Western Michigan.

Earning her second honor of 2022, Williams helped the 11^th-ranked Wildcats to a 4-0 showing at the Mizzou Classic. The senior southpaw twirled her second career no-hitter, striking out 11 in a 4-0 win over Stanford. Williams followed that up by fanning 13 Tigers in a 10-inning triumph over host and then-No. 18 Missouri. In four appearances, she finished 2-0 with a 0.86 ERA, 30 strikeouts and seven walks over 16.1 innings of work.

The Division I Player & Pitcher of Week awards must be nominated by member head coaches and are voted on by the NFCA's Division I Top 25 Committee, which consists of one head coach representing each of the 32 NCAA DI Conferences.
