IRVINE, Calif. – Hawai'i Pacific University hurler Jordan Curry is the first PacWest Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week for her performance in this weekend's Desert Stinger Tournament in Las Vegas.
 
Curry, a 6-0 senior from Farmington, N.M./Farmington, shut down No. 23 UC San Diego in a 3-1 win on Friday night to open the season. Curry held the No. 23 Tritons to one unearned run as she scattered seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts. She did not allow an earned run all weekend as she also appeared in relief on Sunday.
 
Joining Curry in the first softball weekly honors of the season in the PacWest are Academy of Art's Brenna Youngquist as Player of the Week and Concordia Irvine's Megan Massa as the Freshman of the Week.
 
The Sharks (1-2) have a replacement doubleheader today (Monday) against Montana State Billings to make up for two games rained out at the Desert Stinger, then will travel up Interstate 15 to St. George, Utah, for the Dixie State Courtyard Classic on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
