Clark, Ouellette Combine to Sweep SCAC Weekly Honors

SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran sophomore Caelee Clark (Montgomery/Lake Creek) and senior Sydney Ouellette (Corpus Christi/Gregory-Portland) combined to sweep the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) weekly honors after helping the Bulldogs to a sweep over Centenary and 25-2 start to the season.

Clark collects the SCAC Hitter of the Week honors in back-to-back weeks after an impressive week where she batted .700 (7-for-10) with two RBIs and four runs scored to go along with a walk.

The highlight of the weekend for the Montgomery, Texas native was her 14 stolen bases in three games, including her seven stolen base effort in the second game of the series. Clark set a new program and SCAC record and tied the NCAA Division-III record for stolen bases in a single game with seven. Clark became the tenth player in NCAA history to steal seven bases in a game with eight stolen bases in a game by Barton College's (D-II) Jessica McFadden being the single-game record across all three NCAA divisions. Clark leads all of NCAA Softball with 66 stolen bases this season and has already matched her 66 stolen base season from a year ago, which led all of college softball in 2023.

Ouellette won her lone start last week, throwing the first solo no-hitter of her career and the 36th in TLU softball history on April 12 against the Ladies in six innings. The senior right-hander struck out one lone batter and walked one over six innings, throwing 50 of her 75 pitches for strikes. Ouellette sat down the final eight batters she faced on Friday. The no-hitter is the third that Ouellette has been a part of in her career at Texas Lutheran.

Both Bulldogs earned their third career SCAC weekly honors. Texas Lutheran has swept three of the SCAC's ten weekly honors and a TLU player or pitcher has won the honors four of the ten weeks. A Bulldog player has won SCAC Hitter of the Week three of the last four weeks.

Texas Lutheran continues their final regular season homestand as they welcome the Trinity Tigers to Ed Kruse Stadium on Friday, April 19. First pitch is scheduled for 6 PM. All games will be streamed on TLU's YouTube Channel, TLU+. All streaming and live stats links can be found on tlubulldogs.com.
