Softball Sweeps C-USA Weekly Honors

Feb. 28, 2005

HOUSTON - After sweeping the Marriott Hobby Airport Invitational, the Cougars swept the weekly Conference USA softball honors where sophomore Carla Kennimer was named Pitcher of the Week and senior Kristen Glowacz earned Hitter of the Week.

Sophomore Carla Kennimer three the program's first back-to-back no-hitter last week.

Kennimer earned the conference nod after notching back-to-back no-hitters in a pair of 5-0 wins over Buffalo and Northern Illinois. The southpaw recorded the fourth and fifth no-hitters in the program's history and in so doing became the first Cougar to throw consecutive no-hitters.

The Porter, Texas, native also joins former Cougar Jamie Falco as the only hurlers to record two no-hitters in their careers at Houston.

For Glowacz, the C-USA citation of Hitter of the Week is the third of her career and first this season. The third baseman hit a blistering .600 in five games going 8-of-15, while producing 10 RBI, and nine runs, including the first C-USA grand slam of 2005.

The two-time All-South Region performer became the all-time leader in stolen bases at Houston after stealing home against Buffalo to tie the record at 29, and later in the same game stole second to claim the categories top spot.

Both Glowacz' and Kennimer's performances helped Houston to improve to 8-9 on the season, heading into this week's final home tournament at the Cougar Softball Field this Friday through Sunday, March 4-6.
