Chmielewski
earns Player of the Week honors after leading the Bison to a 4-1
record and being named Most Outstanding Player at the Miken Dome
Tournament. She was 8-of-13 (.615 batting average) with two home
runs, eight RBI and five walks. She also boasted a 1.154 slugging
percentage and a .722 on-base percentage. In the first game against
Green Bay, she was 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI. In the two
team's next meeting, after a single in the first inning, the
Phoenix opted against pitching to Chmielewski, resulting in four
walks. On Sunday, when Green Bay threw to her again, she knocked a
solo homer over the left field fence. In the tournament finale, a
3-1 win over Iowa State, she was responsible for all of NDSU's
scoring, hitting a three-run homer in the first inning.
