Auburn senior Jade Rhodes' dominant week for her dominant team didn't go unnoticed by the SEC. Rhodes was named the SEC Softball Player of the Week on Monday after her performance helped the Tigers go 4-0, including the most lopsided sweep in program history against Arkansas, and increase their win streak to a school-record 16 games.
For the week, Rhodes batted .667 with 10 hits, nine runs, eight RBIs and three home runs. She was the catalyst for the Tigers during their record 23-0 win on Saturday, setting a school record with five hits, two of which were homers, and tying a career-high for runs with four. It was her second multi-homer game this season.
After 45 games, Rhodes is tied for the SEC lead with 16 home runs. Her 18 multi-RBI games are tied for the team lead.
Rhodes now has two SEC Player of the Week awards this season. Teammate Kasey Cooper has also won the award twice.
