FORT MYERS, FLA.- Following a nearly flawless opening weekend of the 2019 season, Florida SouthWestern State sophomore pitcher Kelsi Collins has been named both the FCSAA Pitcher of the Week and the Fastpitch News National Player of the Week in organizational releases on Tuesday. 

Collins was lights out for the Bucs over the weekend, helping #3 FSW to a perfect 5-0 record Friday and Saturday.  She toed the rubber twice, winning both contests, while remaining in control throughout both games.  Collins threw five innings against Santa Fe on Friday, allowing just three hits while striking out 10 in a 12-2 Buc win.  On Saturday she backed that up with five no hit innings against #12 Seminole State as the Bucs blanked the Raiders 5-0.  On the week she finished 2-0 without giving up an earned run in 10 innings worked while striking out 15 and not walking a single batter. 

Collins and the Bucs are back in action tonight at the Historic City of Palms Park where they open up their 2019 home schedule against Palm Beach at 5 PM.  Admission is free to both games.
