Clarksville, Tenn.–Senior infielder Danielle Liermann, of the Austin Peay State University softball team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.
The Simi Valley, California native raked last week, hitting .591 with three home runs, a double, eight runs scored and 12 RBI, including the game-winner in all three wins for the Govs against Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky on Senior Weekend.
She collected two hits in each game, driving in runs in three of four contests to push her season average up to .368. She drove in four runs in the second game against Morehead State, bookending the contest with home runs in the first and sixth innings.
Liermann earned the fourth Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honor for her work, becoming the first player in program history to earn four honors from the league office in her career.
The Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week is selected by the APSU Sports Information staff each Wednesday during the academic year. Copies in a Flash, of Clarksville, sponsors the award.
