Portland, OR - SOFTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Keana Bell earned the first-career player of the week. Bell helped lead the Nighthawks to a successful week in California, as NNU went 4-3 throughout a full week of NCAA Division II competition. Bell totaled three home runs and nine RBIs on the week, and produced numerous timely swings of the bat. Bell had four RBIs in NNU's win over Regis on Feb. 6 and in her team's win over San Francisco State on Feb. 7, clearing the fence in each game. She also recorded a pair of doubles and scored five runs across the seven-game sample. Defensively, bell committed zero errors in 24 chances at third base, helping NNU turn a pair of double plays. Through the first 11 games of the season, Bell is slashing .344/.447/.781 with four homers and a dozen RBIs.
 
NNU Head Coach Rich Wagner: "Keana consistently came up with big swings in big moments all week. She also played an amazing third base and saved multiple games with her defense."
