by IRVINE, Calif. – Hawai’i Pacific University hurler Jordan Curry (Navajo) was selected the PacWest Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week for her performance last weekend in the Turlock Tournament of Champions.
Curry, a 6-0 senior from Farmington, N.M./Farmington, pitched three complete game shut outs in beating Simon Fraser 3-0, Central Washington 6-0 and Cal State Monterey Bay 1-0 in Turlock, Calif. She also pitched four innings of relief in the Sharks first game of the tournament in a 7-3 loss to Concordia Portland. Curry allowed two runs to CUP on Friday, then didn’t allow another plate crossing the rest of the tournament.
Curry was selected to the All-Tournament Team as she led the tournament with 25.0 innings pitched with a minuscule 0.56 ERA. She struck out 14 batters and allowed 14 hits. The gem of the weekend came on Sunday when she closed the TOC with a two-hit, two-walk performance in beating CSUMB 1-0.
