University of Memphis junior Jessica Phillips, a first baseman from Chattanooga, Tenn., was named C-USA co-hitter of the week for the second time this season, sharing the award with Houston's Melissa Gregson. Phillips also won the award to open the 2011 season. This week's award marks the fourth time this season that a Tiger has taken home league honors.
Phillips made league history by connecting on a trio of home runs in the Tigers' finale against UTEP, the most homeruns in a C-USA game by a single player. She finished the week with nine RBI to help The U of M sweep the Miners on the road for the first time in school history. Phillips leads the team with nine home runs and 25 RBI this year. She is batting a team-best .297 and has scored 15 runs. She is currently fourth all-time in school history for most home runs in a season with nine, three away from matching the school record.
The Tigers (21-7, 6-3 C-USA) will play their next five games at home, where they will host a three-game league series with Tulsa this weekend and a doubleheader with Alabama State on Wednesday, April 6.
