Daija Jones was chosen as the Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week after going 9-for-19 with three home runs at the NTC Spring Games last weekend. Jones began the weekend going 1-for-3 with a RBI and run scored in the Sharks' 7-2 win over Upper Iowa on Friday night. She followed that up with a 2-for-3 performance against Ferris State, which included a solo home run. On Sunday, Jones was at it again clinching the 3-2 win over Bentley in extra innings. Once more she scored the Sharks' first run with a bomb hit over the center field wall. She would go on to score the second run to put NSU up 2-0 in the fourth. Then, in the bottom of the eighth, Jones singled to left center to plate the winning run. Finally, against St. Thomas Aquinas on Sunday, she went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in the 6-1 victory. She also pitched her second two-hitter of the season and claimed the win, holding the Spartans to two hits and one earned run.
