Weekly Release 
GREENSBORO, N.C. -
Senior Kerry Hickey of the Maryland softball team was named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Co-Pitcher of the Week the league announced Tuesday for her performance in the Terps' 4-1 week beginning last Tuesday.

After the Terrapins went ahead 7-4 in the top of the seventh inning of game two, she came on in the bottom of the inning to close the game out. She got three straight Seminoles out on nine straight pitches to end the game.
Against Binghamton last Tuesday, she allowed just three hits in 7.0 innings and earned 10 strikeouts en route to a 5-0 Terps win.
