Maue of the McKendree College
softball team has been named the American Midwest Conference Player of the
Week for April 17. Maue, a freshman catcher from Trenton, Ill.,
hit .500, going six-for-12, with three home runs and eight runs batted in
while helping her team to a perfect 4-0 record on the week. Maue also scored three runs and was walked three times
while holding a slugging percentage of 1.250 for the week. Maue was also just as important defensively, calling
three shutouts on the week and throwing out one-of-two would be base stealers
while picking off another. In the first game of a double-header against the University
of Illinois-Springfield, Maue was two-for-three
with one home run and three RBI. In the second game she was two-for-two with
two home runs and four runs batted in. She had a chance for a third home run
however she was walked on four straight balls with the bases loaded. Her two
home runs tied the school record for home runs in a game.
