Helping lead the No. 14-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College softball team to a 4-0 start to the season has earned sophomores Lindzie Owen and Annalise Wood recognition as the Continental Athletic Conference Softball Hitter and Pitcher of the Week.

Owen, the Hitter of the Week, led GGC by hitting .800, with eight hits in 10 at-bats, in the first four games of this spring. The designated player scored seven runs, had four RBI and was a perfect 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts.

The Conyers, Georgia, native went 3-for-3, scored three runs and drove in two runs in the Grizzlies' 9-1 win against University of Houston-Victoria last Friday at the LSU Alexandria Tournament. Owen opened the 2023 season by going 4-for-4 with two RBI and a double against Ohio Christian University last Wednesday.

Wood, the Pitcher of the Week, tossed a perfect game and set a single-game school record with 16 strikeouts in her season debut against Ohio Christian. The Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, native has a 2-0 record after 9.2 innings in one start and an additional relief appearance. She also recorded 19 strikeouts inside the pitching circle.

Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to host No. 20 Campbellsville University (Kentucky) on Friday, February 17, from the Grizzly Softball Complex, starting at 2 p.m.
