SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – On April 7, Sacramento State University junior Kennedie Magorian was named the Big Sky Conference Pitcher of the Week after helping the Hornets take two of three games on the road at Portland State.

Magorian, in her first year with the Hornets after transferring from College of San Mateo, also received the honor on Feb. 24.

During the Portland State series, the right-hander was 1-0 with a perfect 0.00 ERA. In 7.0 innings, she allowed only two hits with four walks and 10 strikeouts. She yielded just a .095 batting average to Portland State batters and finished with a 2.5-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio.

In the Hornets' 2-0 win over the Vikings on April 4, the Foresthill, Calif., native allowed just two hits with a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings of work. At one point, she retired 10 straight batters between the third and sixth innings, and yielded singles in the second and seventh innings.

In her only other appearance, relief work in the sixth inning of Saturday's game, Magorian allowed no hits and no runs with a walk and a strikeout in one inning.
