Zell Earns WAC Pitcher of the Week

I would hate to think she wouldn't after firing a no-hitter!

Boise State's Aubray Zell, who pitched the first no-hitter in school history (winning 12-0), was named today as the Western Athletic Conference as the Broncos' first-ever Pitcher of the Week.

I was being facetious above, but it almost didn't happen.  You see, earlier in the week, Hawai'i sophomore Kaia Parnaby threw a perfect game.  The WAC office did the appropriate thing and made them both Co-Pitchers of the Week.

Zell tied a career high with eight K's in the no-no.  The only base runner for Southern Utah reached on a dropped third strike.  Zell came back on Sunday and became the first Bronco pitch back-to-back shutouts, winning 2-0.  For the weekend, Zell pitched 12 innings with a 0.00 ERA, 15 strikeouts and no walks.

Congrats to Aubray for her sensational pitching over the weekend and for this award.
