GREENSBORO, N.C. – Senior infielder Joley Mitchell was named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Player of the Week for her efforts last week. This is the first Player of the Week award for Mitchell in her career, as she joins junior Carlli Kloss as members of the Fighting Irish who have earned the conference’s weekly award.
The third baseman finished last weekend at a .636 batting average, going 7-for-11 with a pair of home runs and led the team with six RBI. She scored two runs and was a key piece of the Irish offense in the series win over NC State. Mitchell finished 3-for-5 with runners on base, and was a perfect 3-for-3 with runners on third and less than two outs. She was also errorless in the field as the Irish defense went a full series without committing an error for the first time since 2019.
Mitchell and the Irish are back in action this afternoon as they take on the Elon Phoenix at 4 p.m.
