Freshman pitcher Nicole Nonnemacher has been named the World Hyundai-Saint Xavier March Athlete of the Month after leading the Saint Xavier softball team to an impressive 19-3 record including a 17-game winning streak in that time. SXU is off to one of the best starts in program history and Nonnemacher has been instrumental in the team’s success.
Nonnemacher has been a double threat for the Cougars as she has not only been impressive on the mound, but also in the batters box as well. Nonnemacher leads the offensive attack with a .451 batting average which is a team-best.
Nonnemacher also has a team-leading 23 hits and is fifth on the squad with six runs batted in (RBI). The dual threat possessed by Nonnemacher has proven to be a huge spark for this Saint Xavier softball team in the month of March.
Nonnemacher has a 9-2 record on the mound as well as a 1.28 earned run average (ERA). Nonnemacher leads the team with 103 strikeouts and has only given up 46 hits in 11 appearances this season.
Nonnemacher, a nursing major at SXU, won Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) player of the week on Tuesday, March 19. Nonnemacher’s sister, Megan Nonnemacher, won CCAC pitcher of the week during the same week as well.
Nonnemacher, a native of Bloomington, Ill., has made an immediate impact on this Saint Xavier softball team as SXU continues to move up the rankings and through the 2013 season.
Saint Xavier returns to the field on Thursday, April 4, against Trinity International University (Ill.). The Cougars will travel up to Deerfield, Ill., to take on TIU with the first game set to begin at 3 p.m.
