Calumet College of St. Joseph’s Ashley Dau (Chicago Heights, Ill.) and Aubrey Wiersema (Dolton, Ill.) made it a clean sweep of the weekly conference softball honors for the Crimson Wave for the week ending March 23.
Dau, a junior, collected one of the biggest wins in the history of the Calumet St. Joseph program when she came on in relief to toss 2 2/3 innings of shutout softball in the Crimson Wave’s 4-1 victory over 2007 NAIA Region VII Tournament runnerup Robert Morris College on March 20. Two of her outs came on strikeouts.
She also threw an inning of scoreless relief in a 4-3, eight-inning setback to Anderson University (Ind.) on March 21
Overall, Dau went 1-1 in four appearances on the week with a 4.45 earned run average for the Crimson Wave, which slipped to 5-7 on the year after dropping four of its five contests during the week.
Wiersma, a junior outfielder, hit safely in four of her five games played going 5-for-18 (.278) with four runs scored and another three driven in. All three RBI and two of her five hits came in a 13-8 loss to St. Mary-of-the-Woods College (Ind.) on March 22. One of the four runs scored came in the big win over Robert Morris College.
