ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Jordan Birch PDF Print

Jordan Birch
Junior Softball Player

The junior pitcher tossed two complete victories this weekend en route to the ISU softball team sweeping its series with MVC opponent Evansville. Birch pitched a shut out in the opening 8-0 victory, allowing only one hit and striking out seven. She also closed out the series, allowing three hits and striking out nine in the 'Birds 4-2 win over the Purple Aces. She has now improved to 12-2 on the season.

“Athlete of the Week” is an online segment of the Daily Vidette’s sports section. A new Illinois State student-athlete will be honored each week based on breakout performances in his or her respective sport. Every week, Vidette sports writers nominate an athlete from the sport they are covering and the final decision is made by the two editors. Selections are not representative of the Missouri Valley Conference and are the opinions of the 2011 Vidette Sports staff only.

As you can see, athlete of the week is just a reflection of the sports staff. And the sport staff only deals with sports and not ISU artists or performers. Your comment would be better if brought to the attention of another section. Athletes are not all ISU is about, but they are all the sports section is about.

How about an artist or performer of the week? Athletes are not all ISU is about, are they?
