ATLANTA, Ga. – Tuskegee freshman pitcher Monica Rose has been named the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Softball Pitcher of the Week following a dominant weekend in the circle during the Golden Tigers' three-game sweep over Kentucky State at the TU Softball Field.
 
Rose played a pivotal role in Tuskegee's success, picking up two wins in her two starts while not allowing a single run across 13 innings of work.
 
Over the weekend, she gave up just four total hits, struck out 13 batters, and walked only three.
 
Her standout performance was highlighted by a masterful no-hitter in the series finale, an 8-0 victory in six innings, where she allowed just two base runners via walks while striking out three.
 
In the series opener on Friday, Rose tossed a complete game shutout, scattering four hits while striking out a season-high 10 batters and issuing just one walk in the 2-0 win.
 
Her ability to command the zone and keep hitters off balance proved crucial as she faced just three batters over the minimum.
 
She followed that performance with even more dominance on Saturday in game two of the doubleheader.
 
Rose was flawless, not allowing a single hit or run while recording her second complete game shutout of the weekend. Her poise and precision were evident throughout, as she retired 18 of the 20 batters she faced, sealing the no-hitter in just 89 pitches.
 
With the pair of victories, Rose improves to 12-2 on the season and continues to lead the Golden Tigers from the circle as they march toward postseason contention.
 
 Tuskegee currently sits at 22-5 overall and 17-2 in SIAC play, with Rose's excellence playing a critical role in the team's sustained success.
 
This recognition marks Rose's second SIAC Pitcher of the Week honor of the season and further establishes her as one of the premier arms in the league during her first collegiate season.
