RALEIGH, N.C. NC State’s Shanna Smith was named ACC Co-Player of the Week by the conference office on Monday, April 14 after leading the Pack to three victories, including a crucial series win over Maryland, this past week. Smith, who takes the weekly league honor for the second time this season, shares the accolade with North Carolina’s Cassie Palmer.
Smith, who was previously named Player of the Week on Feb. 11, batted .600 in five games last week. After piling up three hits in the Pack’s first two games of the week against Radford, the Albemarle, N.C., senior blasted a walk-off two-run homer in the weekend’s first game against league-foe Maryland. She followed that up with a two home-run performance in Saturday’s second game against the Terps, and then another two-hit performance in the Wolfpack’s 7-6 win on Sunday. On the week, Smith went 9-for-15 with four home runs, seven RBIs, seven runs scored and six walks. She currently leads the league in home runs (11), total bases (93) and on-base percentage (.468).
Smith and Palmer will go head-to-head this weekend with their respective teams, as State heads to Chapel Hill for a three-game conference set. Prior to that series, the Pack will play two games at Charlotte on Tuesday.
