GREENSBORO, N.C. – Duke softball senior
Caroline Jacobsen has been tabbed as the ACC Player of the Week, as the league announced on Tuesday.
Jacobsen reels in the first such honor of her career and becomes the fourth ACC weekly honoree in program history, joining
Kristina Foreman,
Peyton St. George, and
Shelby Walters.
The Tallahassee, Fla., native had a weekend to remember at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., hitting .462 (6-for-13) with three home runs, four RBI, four walks, a double and a stolen base, while scoring five runs. Her efforts led the Blue Devils to a 4-1 mark, including a win over a top-five team for the third consecutive season in No. 5 Oklahoma State.
Jacobsen recorded at least one hit in all five games and has a six-game hitting streak dating back to last season. Her first home run of the season came off All-American Miranda Elish, to give Duke the 1-0 lead against Oklahoma State. That home run also started a stretch of three consecutive games with a long ball.
Duke and Jacobsen are back in action this weekend at the T-Mobile Tournament, hosted by Florida in Gainesville, Fla. The Blue Devils will meet the No. 4 Gators, Villanova, Louisville, and Florida A&M (twice) from Feb. 18-20.
