DENVER – Grand Canyon's Taylor Nowlin have been named the Western Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for April 10-16. This is the eighth of her career for Nowlin.
Nowlin, a senior left-hander from Peoria, Ariz., went 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA and 16 strikeouts to just three walks in a pair of appearances last week. She gave up just one extra-base hit and held opponents to a .143 batting average over 12.0 innings. In her first appearance, she earned a complete-game victory, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out nine. Nowlin then picked up her fourth shutout of the year on Saturday against CSU Bakersfield. She nearly pitched a no-hitter, giving up one hit in the fifth and final inning. She struck out seven in just five innings. Nowlin leads the WAC with 131 strikeouts this season, nearly double the next closest pitcher. She is also tops in wins (17) and opponent batting average (.228).
