Wayne State University junior outfielder Becky Quinn (Ortonville, Mich./Oakland Christian) has been selected Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Player of the Week after batting .600 last week as the Warriors went 5-1.

In last Wednesday's sweep of Ferris State, she went two-for-four with a double, a home run, two walks (one with the bases loaded in the second game that forced extra innings), two sacrifice hits, a run scored and two RBI.

This past Saturday, Quinn went 6-for-7 with two home runs in a split against nationally-ranked Gannon. Her two home runs in the nightcap, marked the first time since Feb. 28, 2004, that a Warrior hit two four-baggers in the same game.

In WSU's sweep of Mercyhurst on Sunday, she went one-for-four with two runs scored, three RBI, a walk and two hit by pitches.

Her statistics for the week included:

TB - 19
Slug. Pct. - 1.267
