Emory University junior Sarah Flanders (Peachtree City, GA) has been recognized by the University Athletic Association as the Co-Hitter of the Week after helping the Eagles to five wins over a six-game stretch.  It is the second time this year and in her career that she has been tabbed for the honor.   She shares this week's award with Nicole Doyle of Case Western Reserve University.

In a 7-1 series-opening outcome over NYU that clinched the UAA title, she went 2-for-3 in hitting, scoring the team's first run and then registering a RBI on a sacrifice fly. On the second day of action, she totaled three RBIs (including the game winner), two of which came on a single during a four-run second inning, in helping the team to a 5-1 victory. In the series finale, she picked up a hit a came through with a sacrifice fly in the fifth that staked the Eagles to a 2-1 advantage.

On the year, Flanders is hitting .315 (23-of-73) and has scored 17 runs.
