Sophomore outfielder Kelsey Bruder is the USA Softball Player of the Week for her performance during No. 1 Florida’s run to the SEC Tournament championship.
Bruder batted .571 and had five runs batted in during Florida’s three victories – an opening 3-0 victory over Auburn, an 11-3 victory over tournament host Tennessee in the semifinals and an 8-5 victory over Alabama in the championship game.
Of her four this, two were doubles and another was a home run that was the middle of a back-to-back-to-back effort started by Francesca Enea and completed by Corrie Brooks in the second inning of the victory over the No. 16 Volunteers.
In Florida’s victory over No. 3 Alabama, Bruder had a single and double with three RBI as the Gators rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Crimson Tide, the last team to beat Florida on March 29.
That loss ended a 23-game winning streak by Florida, which now has won 21 straight heading into the NCAA Tournament regional at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The top-seeded team in the 64-team tournament, Florida plays Florida A&M in the second game Friday at 6 p.m. following an opening game between Lehigh and Texas A&M.
For the three games, Bruder had a slugging percentage of 1.286 and an on-base percentage of .700 with the help of two walks.
Bruder, who was earlier named to the All-SEC first team, won all-tournament honors. She has started all 58 of the 55-3 Gators’ games and is batting .377 (third on the team) with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, a .743 slugging percentage and a .476 on-base percentage.
