FRISCO – After guiding the East Texas A&M University softball team to clinching its first ever bid into the Southland Conference Tournament, Tatum Wright has been named the SLC Hitter of the Week for the final week of the regular season on Monday afternoon.
 
Wright (Frisco – Centennial) batted leadoff in all three games last week and hit .545 with two home runs, six RBIs, and slugged 1.275 as the Lions clinched their first ever bid to the Southland tournament. She hit two solo home runs and assisted in turning three double plays defensively as well.
 
She is the first Lion hitter to win  the SLC Hitter of the Week award since joining the conference and the second Lion to earn a Player of the Week award this year, joining teammate and pitcher Julia Sanchez (The Kinkaid School).
