TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – A stellar opening weekend from Alabama freshman pitcher Vic Moten has earned her national recognition as D1 Softball's National Freshman of the Week and Softball America's Freshman Star of the Week.

Moten struck out six Wildcat batters and allowed just one baserunner via a walk.
She got two more wins in a pair of 6.0 inning starts against tournament host Georgia Tech, striking out seven on Friday as part of a two-hit shutout while allowing just two runs in the first inning of Saturday's rematch, fanning six.
