• Hawai’i newcomer Millie Fidge made a second collegiate start a memorable one on Saturday night, firing a complete game in an 8-2 home win over Marist during the Bank of Hawai’i Invitational to earn a first Big West Freshman of the Week nod.
• The Australian allowed two runs on six hits (one a double) and three walks while striking out a season-high seven over a season-long seven frames. Fidge needed 113 pitches to grab a first collegiate winning decision, moving to 1-1 on the year.
• With the bases full, nobody out and one run already in via walk in the fourth with UH clinging to just a 2-1 edge, Fidge got a called third strike, a lineout to the shortstop and a swinging strikeout to limit the damage. UH then struck for three in both the fifth and sixth innings.
• Fidge is the second straight Rainbow Wahine recipient of the Big West Freshman of the Week award, following teammate Key-annah Campbell-Pua from Feb. 20. Hawai’i finished the tournament an even 2-2, and is now 9-6 on the year.
