CEDAR CITY, Utah - Southern Utah University's Danielle Axe has been named the Summit League Pitcher of the Week after her no-hitter performance at IPFW over the weekend. The award is the seventh weekly award for a Thunderbird and first for Axe.

The Missoula, Mont. native went 2-1 during the week, coming on in relief to earn her first victory in Southern Utah's 11-10 win at UNLV. Axe then threw SUU's first no-hitter of the season while striking out five in the Thunderbirds' 1-0 victory at IPFW. In all, Axe totaled 10 strikeouts on the week in 12.2 innings pitched.

Southern Utah will be back in action this weekend, hosting South Dakota State in a three-game conference series.
