Softball's Kylee Hanson and women's tennis Lyndsey Boos claim the title of FAU Player of the Week after shutting down multiple opponents last week.
The Reigning C-USA Pitcher of the Year picked up where she left off last season. On Thursday night, Hanson threw a complete game two-hitter and recorded 10 strikeouts in a 1-0 victory over North Florida. On Friday night, she threw another complete game shutout, this time allowing just four hits and striking out 10 to down N.C State 2-0. She capped the weekend off with her third complete game shutout, holding Michigan State to three hits in a 5-0 win. For the weekend, she went 3-0 with 28 strikeouts and threw 21 shutout innings while surrendering a grand total of nine hits.
Boos went undefeated, 4-0, on the week in singles and doubles play combined. On Saturday, Boos helped lead the Owls to their second-consecutive shutout victory, beating FAMU's Dominique Henry 6-0, 6-0 in singles. She then teamed up with Marisa Ruiz to win her doubles match 6-1. Sunday, Boos continued her hot streak with a 1-6, 6-2, 7-5 win against FGCU's Julia Ascua and took her doubles match 6-4, again paired with Ruiz. This is the second time the senior has been named FAU Player of the Week this season.
