Richmond, Va. - Miranda Cranford was named the CAA Pitcher of the Week for her performances last week.  This is her first time in her career being honored with this award. 

Cranford recorded an impressive 0.58 ERA to cruise to a 2-0 mark on the mound behind a pair of starts during the week. The junior pitched five innings and combined for a shutout in Mason's 7-0 win over Mount St. Mary's, allowing four hits and no walks. She followed that up by pitching a complete game, giving up just five hits and one run while striking out three to pick up the win in the Patriots' 2-1 victory over Cornell.

Cranford and the Patriots will take the field again this weekend when they host Bucknell, Binghamton, and Cornell at the Mason Invitational.
