TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona Softball's Miranda Stoddard has been named the Big 12 Player of the Week for the second time this season, announced by the conference on Tuesday.
 
Stoddard led Arizona to the program's first-ever Big 12 series win and first-ever Big 12 sweep when the Wildcats swept the Utes last week. She led the team with a .714 batting average, two home runs, a double, five RBI, and a 1.714 slugging percentage.
 
The graduate student hit a pair of two-run home runs against the Utes to bring her season total to nine home runs. In Arizona's run-rule win over Utah to open the weekend, Stoddard drove in three runs with a two-run home run and an RBI double. She hit her second home run of the weekend in the Wildcats' final game against Utah to sweep the series.
 
Additionally, Stoddard picked up her sixth win in the circle after pitching 3.1 innings in relief in the second game against Utah.
 
Following the sixth week of the season, Stoddard leads the Big 12 in home runs (9) and home runs per game (0.33).
