Delta State University

Delta State University junior first baseman Taylor Holland collected her first career Gulf South Conference Player of the Week award on Tuesday, March 11 after leading the Lady Statesmen to a weekend sweep of Christian Brothers University at University Field.  She is also GoStatesmen.com's Female Student-Athlete of the Week. 

The Grenada, Miss., native went 7-for-10 at the plate in the series, while scoring five runs and driving in four.  Holland saved her best performance for the series finale, going 3-for-3 at the plate and scoring three runs in DSU's 10-2 victory over the Lady Buccaneers. 

In 23 games this season, Holland is batting .324 with 14 RBIs and 15 runs scored.  She has collected 24 hits in 74 at-bats and ranks third on the team in runs scored and RBIs. 

The three-year letter-winner will lead the Lady Statesmen into a five-game road swing this week with stops at Harding University on Tuesday and a three-game series at Union University over the weekend.
