Former East Central Lady Trojan softball player Lindsay Henson had a great week last week for Jones College.  Henson had two singles, a double, four home runs and 12 RBI over four games to help lead the Bobcats to a 3-1 record.  The freshman pitcher and designated hitter earned Conference Player of the Week honors for the MACCC.

For the season, Henson is batting .449 with an .857 slugging percentage.  She has five home runs and 22 RBI.

Another former Lady Trojan also earned Player of the Week status.  For a second consecutive week, Jessie Stenger of Hanover College earned HCAC Field Athlete of the Week in track.

The freshman turned in a record setting performance as she won the shot put with a school record toss of 13.42 meters. She also broke the HCAC conference record set in 2004.  Her mark currently ranks her ninth among NCAA Division III student-athletes.

Stenger also won the discus throw as part of the Grizzly Invite with a toss of 39.32 meters.
