Ashley Brignac has earned her second weekly honor in as many days as she was named LSWA Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday.

Brignac threw two complete game shutouts at the Cowgirl Classic last weekend, including a no-hitter against the host McNeese State Cowgirls on Saturday.

Brignac blanked the Cowgirls in a 4-0 UL win, striking out seven while allowing just three base runners.

The junior right-hander then turned around and tied a career high with 16 strikeouts against Houston Baptist in another shutout win.

The award marks the third LSWA honor is as many weeks for the Cajuns as Taryn Broussard was named LSWA Hitter of Week last week, and Gabriele Bridges earned the same honor two weeks ago.

In addition to the individual award, both Top 25 polls were released on Tuesday, with the Cajuns still firmly holding on to a spot in both. For a look at the complete polls, click the links above.

The Cajuns will return to action this weekend when they travel to the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Kissimmee, Fla. to take part in the Citrus Classic. The Cajuns will take one Virginia, No.3 Alabama, No.13 Oregon, Temple and Long Island.
