INDIANAPOLIS - After guiding IUPUI to two wins over Youngstown State, sophomore Megan Overton has been named Horizon League Pitcher of the Week, the league announced Monday (March 26). It is the second time that Overton has taken home the honor this year.

Overton dazzled as the sophomore led IUPUI to a series win over Youngstown State, earning two victories along the way. For the weekend, Overton allowed only two runs in 14 innings of work while controlling the strike zone, striking out 17 Penguins and only allowing three walks.

In game one, Overton threw a complete game allowing one run on eight hits and striking out a career-high 10 batters. She closed out the game getting out of a bases-loaded no out jam in the bottom of the seventh to preserve a 2-1 win.

In the series rubber match, Overton threw a three-hit complete game allowing just one run and striking out seven. She lowered her season ERA to 2.43.

IUPUI will continue conference play over the weekend with three games at Wright State on Friday (March 30) and Saturday (March 31).
