written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (4-16-2008) - Candace White, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s fastpitch softball team, has been selected as the American Mideast Conference and NAIA Region IX Pitcher of the Week for her performance in games played during the week of April 7-13.

White, a junior right-handed pitcher from Gahanna, Ohio, posted a 3-1 record for the week with a 0.58 ERA. In 24.1 innings of work, the former Gahanna Lincoln High School standout struck out 16 batters and did not issue a walk. She tossed a pair of shutouts during the week in wins over Shawnee State University and Cedarville University, and she also picked up a win in relief versus Cedarville. Her only loss of the week came in a 1-0 loss at Cedarville in a game that went eight innings.

On the season, White has posted an 8-6 record with a team-best 1.84 ERA. In 87.2 innings of work, she has struck out a team-leading 75 batters and issued just 20 walks. Opponents are hitting .253 against her and she has completed all 12 games that she has started with three shutouts.

MVNU is currently 16-10 overall and 7-7 in the AMC South Division. The Lady Cougars will return to action on Thursday when MVNU will host the University of Rio Grande in another AMC South Division doubleheader that will begin at 3:00 p.m.
