Freshman Annemarie Peavy has been named Mississippi College Renasant Bank Male Athlete of the Week, it was announced on Monday (April 8).
Peavy (Port Allen, La.) led the Lady Choctaws to a 5-0 week with a .625 batting average, four doubles, two home runs, nine runs scored and eight RBI. The rookie went 10-for-16 at the plate with a 1.250 slugging percentage and a .700 on-base perecentage.

She led off the game with a long ball and drove in the game's final runs with a grand slam in the fifth inning. Her seven RBI was the most for a Lady Choctaw since Sarah Finch drove in eight in 2011.
