For the second time in three weeks, Linfield's Tayah Kelley was named Wilson/NFCA Division III Pitcher of the Week in an announcement on Tuesday morning. Kelley helped the Wildcats to six wins last week with victories over SUNY-Oneonta and road wins over Northwest Conference foe Whitworth.
 
Kelley made four appearances last week, totaling 22 innings, including her third career no-hitter. The Myrtle Creek, Ore., native notched three wins as a starter and earned her fourth in three innings of relief work in the series finale against the Pirates. Kelley tallied 34 strikeouts while only surrendering seven hits and three walks.
 
Kelley holds a 0.21 ERA which leads the NWC while Linfield also leads the conference leaderboard in team ERA at 0.70.
 
The Wildcats are ranked third in the NFCA top-25 coaches' poll and return to Del Smith Stadium this week when they host Pacific Lutheran on Saturday and Sunday. Action is scheduled to start at noon on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday.
