• Myka Sutherlin fired back-to-back complete-game seven-inning shutouts among three appearances (two starts) at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City this past Thursday through Saturday, garnering a fifth career Big West Softball Pitcher of the Week award and second already for 2023.
• The senior and second-year Pacific transfer went 2-0 while posting a stellar 0.45 ERA over 15.2 innings pitched as reigning Big West champion and preseason favorite Cal State Fullerton went 3-2, including wins over No. 22 Oregon (5-0), Oregon State (4-0) and No. 3 Florida (5-4), and a loss to No. 2 Oklahoma.
• The right-hander from Gilbert, Ariz., tossed the shutouts against the Ducks and their Pac-12 rival Beavers. Sutherlin gave up just three hits to Oregon and two to OSU, striking out 12 for the weekend and allowing only one earned run (three total), two walks and one home run. Opponents were able to muster a .148 batting average.
• Sutherlin was this year's first Big West Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 13, with three previous awards all coming last season on Feb. 28, March 21 and March 28.
