ST. PAUL — Martin Luther College’s Jordyn Heckendorf was named the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week for the week of April 24-April 30.

The junior appeared in five games this past week and went 13-17 at the plate (.765) with one home run, five RBIs and four runs scored. Heckendorf also displayed her glove in the outfield, with no errors on 18 putouts and 1 assist.

The center fielder had a 4-4 game against Minnesota-Morris and then followed that performance up with a 4-5 effort in game two of the doubleheader, where she hit a crucial two-run homer in the seventh inning to extend the Knights’ lead. As a result, the Knights swept the Cougars on Tuesday, April 25.
