COLBY, Kan. – A 6-0 week for Labette Community College along with a 3-1 week for Johnson County Community College has led to Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Division 2 Softball Player of the Week honors for Cardinal sophomore Jaden Jordan and Cavalier sophomore Jalin Lavers.    

Jaden Jordan – Labette (KJCCC Division 2 Softball Player of the Week)
Jordan proved once again last week why she is one of the most dangerous batters in NJCAA Division 2 this season as the sophomore went 11-14 at the plate with six extra-base hits and 10 walks while helping Labette sweep a trio of KJCCC doubleheaders. With four multi-hit games in six games last week, Jordan blasted five home runs, which included three home runs to cap off the week with a home doubleheader sweep of Hesston College. For the week, Jordan batted .786 at the plate, had a 1.929 slugging percentage, and stole two bases. This season, Jordan has drawn the eighth-most walks in NJCAA Division 2 (30) while leading the country in on-base percentage (.673) and slugging percentage (1.240).

Jalin Lavers – Johnson County (KJCCC Division 2 Softball Pitcher of the Week)
Johnson County pitcher Jalin Lavers hurled two complete-game victories for the Cavaliers last week, which included a six-inning win over number 22-ranked Kansas City Kansas. The sophomore right-hander allowed only one run over 13 innings while striking out 16 batters. In a 6-0 shutout at Fort Scott Saturday afternoon, Lavers mowed down a career-high nine batters while allowing only four singles. The two wins last week allowed Lavers to improve to 9-3 overall in the circle this season with 65 total strikeouts.
