Ma’ake, Sokolsky Earn Big Ten Honors
04/07/25 | Softball
EUGENE, Ore. – Stefini Ma'ake was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the third tine this season, while Elise Sokolsky was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for the first time in her career.
The two helped No. 6 Oregon to a sweep of Michigan over the weekend, following a midweek win at Oregon State. The Ducks are tied for first place in the conference at 9-1 with UCLA and Northwestern.
Ma'ake, who won Big Ten Freshman honors for the second consecutive week and for the third time overall, hit .500 with three home runs and seven RBI last week. She went 5-for-10 at the plate with a slugging percentage of 1.400.
Ma'ake went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-1 win at Oregon State. She drove in the Ducks' second run in Friday's 3-2 series opening victory over Michigan.
Ma'ake also hit a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-1 win in the finale against Michigan.
This is the fifth Freshman of the Week honor for the Ducks this season.
Sokolsky went 3-0 with a 0.51 ERA in 13.2 innings pitched. She yielded one run on four hits, struck out 14 and walked four. Opponents hit just .091 against her.
She threw a complete game one-hitter and struck out six in a 9-1 win at Oregon State.
She earned the win in game one against Michigan Friday by allowing no runs in 1.2 innings of relief.
Sokolsky capped the week by throwing 5.0 innings scoreless innings out of the pen Saturday in Oregon's come-from-behind 5-4 victory.
Oregon plays a three-game series at Minnesota beginning Friday.
