Auburn senior Jade Rhodes has been named SEC Softball Player of the Week after her strong play helped the Tigers go 4-0, including a sweep of SEC foe South Carolina. Rhodes is the second Auburn player to win SEC Player of the Week this season, as Kasey Cooper won the award Feb. 29 and March 7.
Rhodes, who leads the SEC in home runs with 11, began the week by hitting homers in three consecutive games. She also had two RBIs in each of those games, bringing her season total of multi-RBI games to 14, which ranks second on the team.
On the week, she batted .625 on 5-of-8 hitting. She recorded all of her hitting stats in the first three games of the week, as she walked in all three of her plate appearances in the sweep-clinching win over the Gamecocks.
Rhodes has hit a home run in six of the Tigers' last nine games. She'll look to continue her hot streak when the Tigers travel to No. 12 Kentucky this weekend.
