FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Patty Maye Ohanian has been named the Capital Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week after piecing together a tremendous effort for the Christopher Newport softball team during the squad's twin bill against No. 5 Rowan and McDaniel on Saturday.
 
The weekly award is the second for Ohanian in her decorated career. She was previously celebrated as the CAC Softball Player of the Week as a freshman on April 9, 2018.
 
After a nearly three-week hiatus since CNU's last official softball game, Ohanian showed no signs of rust following the weather-related layoff. Starring for the Captains during the doubleheader on Saturday, she was perfect at the plate. She reached base safely in all seven of her plate appearances after finishing 5-for-5 with two walks.
 
Stuffing the stat sheet, Ohanian also knocked in five runs, scored twice, and swiped a pair of bases during the two games.
 
Kicking things off against nationally-ranked Rowan, she laced two hits in the 9-0 victory over the Profs, including a two-run single during the second inning. Later in the evening, she came back with three hits in the nightcap against McDaniel. All three of her hits drove in runs, including a pair of two-out singles in the second and fourth.
 
Overall, the Captains scored in seven different innings during the doubleheader. Incredibly, Ohanian reached base during each of those rallies and either scored or knocked in a run in six of them.
 
Along with her work at the plate, the second-year star also flashed her wheels on the base paths. She stole a bag during each game and scored all the way from first on a single during a five-run rally in the second inning against McDaniel.
 
So far this season, Ohanian is hitting .500 during the squad's first four games. The reigning first-team All-American also has a team-best .571 on-base percentage while helping Christopher Newport compile a 3-1 record in the early going.
 
Ohanian and her teammates will return to action on Wednesday when the Captains travel to N.C. Wesleyan for a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m.
