SPARTANBURG – After pitching the fifth perfect game in Chattanooga Softball's program history and going 2-0 with two saves, Brooke Parrott was named the Southern Conference Student Athlete of the Week. The league office selects the recipient which was announced Wednesday afternoon.

Parrott started two games and went the distance in both of them, combining for 14 innings and allowed two runs on five hits and nine strikeouts in those two wins. Her historic start came against Radford where she set down all 21 batters she faced on just 78 pitches (56 strikes) en route to Chattanooga's first perfect game since 2002.

On Sunday, she came in relief in both of Chattanooga's games and totaled shutout innings and two saves. In her four total appearances, Parrott combined to hold a 0.74 earned run average in 19 innings of work. Her perfect game was the first in two decades and the first no hitter for a Moc since 2010.

On Monday, the Harrison, Tenn. native was named the SoCon Pitcher of the Week for the second time in her two-year career at Chattanooga. The junior is majoring in exercise science and holds a 3.66 GPA.

Parrott is the fourth Moc to earn SoCon Student Athlete of the Week accolades. Football's Cole Strange and men's basketball's Malachi Smith have both been awarded the honor once, while Abbey Cornelius of the women's basketball team was named the student athlete of the week twice.

The softball team returns to the diamond this weekend for the Frost Classic at Frost Stadium on Feb. 25-27.
