Jensen Named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week

Nebraska softball freshman Alexis Jensen was recognized as the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced on Monday. 

In NU’s weekend sweep of Michigan, Jensen grabbed a 2-0 record in the circle. She tossed a team-high 9.0 innings and struck out 12 batters. Jensen logged an ERA of 3.11 and allowed four runs. 

Offensively, the Gretna, Neb., native earned a .667 batting average and had three RBI with a home run and four hits.

Jensen is the Huskers’ second Big Ten Pitcher of the Week this season, as Hannah Camenzind earned the honor on Feb. 23.
