Pack Softball Adds Transfer Aisha Weixlmann

RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State softball has added pitcher Aisha Weixlmann as a transfer from Winthrop.

"Aisha is someone our staff is excited about getting to campus in a few weeks," said head coach Jennifer Patrick-Swift. "The more we got to know her in the recruiting process, the more we got a clear understanding of the impact she wants to make on our pitching staff.

"She is a power pitcher that has great mound presence and two years of experience under her belt."

Weixlmann earned Big South All-Freshman Team honors for the 2021 season. She led the squad with 27 starts (15-11 record), and ranked seven in the conference in wins (15), ninth in strikeouts (184) and 10^th in ERA (2.89). Weixlmann was named Big South Conference Pitcher of the Week (April 12) after she tossed back-to-back shutouts against Presbyterian.

In the shortened 2020 season, she went 4-1 in 12 appearances and seven starts. She struck out 54 batters in only 47.2 innings pitched.

A product of Olympic High School, Weixlmann was named to the 2018 North Carolina Softball Coaches Association All-State team. She was also named conference tournament MVP, and her school's Female Student-Athlete of the Year.
