CHICAGO --- Emilee Erickson's (Elburn, Ill.) two wins in the circle for St. Ambrose University and Kaylie Sippel's (Beecher, Ill.) 11 hits and nine runs batted in in just six games for University of St. Francis have resulted in the two players capturing Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Softball Pitcher and Player of the Week honors, respectively, the league office announced on Tuesday morning.

Erickson authored back-to-back complete-game victories by allowing just one run in each of the two contests in which she pitched, a 3-1 victory over Olivet Nazarene University last Wednesday and a 4-1 nod over Saint Xavier University on Saturday.

In the win versus Olivet Nazarene, Erickson gave up just four hits and two walks against two strikeouts. Three days later, she had five strikeouts in the Saint Xavier victory.

Combined, she permitted only 12 hits in her 14 innings pitched.

Erickson registered two of St. Ambrose's three wins over four games last week. The Fighting Bees are 15-21 overall and 4-4 against league competition.
