AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference has named University of North Georgia softball players Kristen Davis and Marycille Brumby as weekly award winners. Davis was named the PBC Pitcher of the Week after pitching 10.2 scoreless innings in two games. Brumby was named the PBC Freshman of the Week after hitting .462 with four doubles in six games last week.

Davis finished the week with 10.2 innings pitched over two starts last week, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out 20. The junior from Calhoun, Ga., earned the win in her first start against UNC Pembroke, allowing one hit over 3.2 innings with no walks and eight strikeouts. She gave up a single to the first batter of the game, then retired the next 11 batters in a row before leaving the game with an 11-0 lead. She also won her second start, going seven innings against Lake Erie with one hit allowed, three walks and 12 strikeouts. After allowing the hit in the first inning, she retired 10 in a row and struck out the side in the seventh. She held batters to a .057 average and has not allowed an earned run in her last 14.2 innings pitched. Davis is currently third in the PBC in opponent batting average, sixth in strikeouts and ninth in ERA.

Brumby came out firing to begin the week, hitting three doubles and driving in two runs to wrap up the final day of the Captain D's Surf and Turf Classic on Monday (Feb. 13). Brumby didn't slow down over the weekend, beginning with two hits in two at-bats, adding another double to her totals in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday (Feb. 18) against UNC Pembroke. Brumby saw action in all six Nighthawk games last week and had no errors in 14 chances in the field. Brumby is hitting .400 on the season with a .667 slugging percentage.

Davis is the second Nighthawk pitcher to earn the award this season, and Brumby becomes the first Nighthawk to be named PBC Freshman of the Week since Jolie Lester earned the honor on April 11, 2022.
