Carbondale, Ill. - Junior left-hander Renee Mueller was named Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week, announced earlier today by the league office. Mueller threw a no-hitter against Wichita State on May 4.
Mueller, who moved to 8-4 on the season following her no-hitter against the Shockers, also struck out four batters and allowed just one runner on base in the win. Her complete game no-hitter, which marked both the first of her career and first for the Salukis this season, was also the first for an SIU pitcher since Erin Stremsterfer (1998-01) did it at New Mexico State on Feb. 24, 2001.
Mueller is the second Saluki pitcher to garner the weekly honor this season.
