Kylan Becker Named SEC Co-Player of the Week

May 2, 2017

OXFORD, Miss. - After leading Ole Miss softball to a pair of walk-off victories over No. 13 Alabama, sophomore OF Kylan Becker has been named SEC Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

Becker splits the SEC Player of the Week honors with Auburn's Kasey Cooper. It marks the second weekly honor of Becker's career after she was named SEC Freshman of the Week last May. She earned Ole Miss' third weekly honor of 2017 after Dylinn Stancil was named Freshman of the Week, and Elantra Cox earned Player of the Week honors back in February.

Becker finished the week 6-for-15 at the plate, helping No. 20 Ole Miss to a 3-1 record, including the team's first-ever series win over Alabama. She went 3-for-4 in the win over Jacksonville State, and went on to record the walk-off hit in the final two games of the Alabama series, both RBI singles, lifting the Rebels to their third SEC series win.

Through 51 games, the Miami, Florida native is the team's second-leading hitter overall with a .365 average and 20 RBI, and has paved the way so far offensively in SEC play with a .323 clip.

Becker and the Rebels return to action Wednesday night to host Southern Miss in the home finale at 6 p.m. on SEC Network.
