LAFAYETTE – Lexie Elkins' offensive display in last Saturday's doubleheader at Appalachian State earned the No. 9 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball catcher her first USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week honor, the Amateur Softball Association announced Tuesday.

 Elkins finished the twinbill in Boone, N.C., a combined 8-for-10 (.800 average) at the plate with five home runs, 13 RBI and six runs scored. For her efforts, the Victoria, Texas native was also tabbed as the Sun Belt Conference and Louisiana Sports Writers Association Player of the Week for the second time this season on Monday. 

 The five home runs increased her season total to 25 and allowed her to reclaim the status of the nation's leader in home runs. Elkins moved past Longwood's Megan Baltzell (22 home runs), the leader entering the weekend, for top honors. Elkins also leads the Nation in homeruns per game at 0.64

It is the first USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week honor for Elkins in her career and it marks the first time since week two of the 2012 season that a Ragin' Cajun earned the honor (Christi Orgeron)
