Bradford, Pa. -- University of Pittsburgh at Bradford seniors Hannah Lathrop and Jordan Uhing kicked off their season in impressive fashion, as each player was rewarded by the AMCC for their strong performances on Monday.

Lathrop was named Player of the Week. She hit .500 in a 4-0 week for the Panthers. Lathrop hit one home run,  collected five RBIs, and scored two runs. She also added a stolen base. Lathrop's best performance was in the AMCC Game of the Week match-up with Mount Aloysius. She went 4-for-6 in the doubleheader, driving in four of the Panthers' seven runs. She was particularly dangerous in game one, as she finished 3-for-3 with her first career home run and added three RBIs. This is the first time Lathrop has been named AMCC Player of the Week.

"Hannah really stepped up this past week, especially against Mount Aloysius," said head coach Tina Phillips. "She did all we could ask for as our cleanup hitter. Her home run was crucial in our important win over Mount Aloysius."

Uhing was named AMCC Pitcher of the Week for the third time in her career. Uhing was dominant for the Panthers in their opening week of play, picking up two wins in the circle. She spun complete-game victories in both games she pitched and allowing one run in each contest.  In the AMCC Game of the Week, Uhing threw a three-hitter, striking out 11 Mounties in the process. For the week, she allowed two runs on eight hits in 14 innings of work. She struck out 19 batters. 

Phillips was extremely pleased with her senior pitchers, stating, "Our pitching was outstanding this week. Both Jordan and Kerrigan (Hoffmann), had great weeks and either could have gotten this award. Jordan was overpowering on Saturday and her 11 strikeouts set a new career-high." 

The Panthers went 4-0 in their opening week of the season. They swept a non-conference doubleheader against Alfred State and took both games in the AMCC Games of the Week against the defending champions, Mount Aloysius.
