Softball player Christa Reisinger was named GLVC Player of the Week, her league-leading third of the season and seventh of her career. She also was named Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Player of the Week for the first time in her career. For the week of April 9-15, Truman went 6-0 to run its winning streak to nine games, and Reisinger was at the forefront of it all. In those six victories, the senior centerfielder hit .750 (12-for-16) with a 1.563 slugging percentage and on-base percentage of .818. Reisinger racked up 15 runs scored, two triples, three home runs, 10 RBI, 25 total bases, five walks, one hit-by-pitch, only one strikeout and eight stolen bases in eight attempts.
