The Northwest Conference announced Linfield's Claire Seats as the Softball Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week in a release Monday afternoon.

A senior from Seattle, Washington, Seats leads the conference in home runs with eight after launching four in the past week during Linfield's road trip in Southern California. In six games last week, she went 13 for 26 at the plate while scoring eight times and driving in eight runs. After the red-hot week, Seats now boasts a .493 batting average, ranking fifth in the NWC and third in slugging percentage (.955).

The Bellevue High School product is majoring in management and is the daughter of Brian and Annette Seats.

Linfield softball is off to a dominant 16-2 start with a 6-0 conference record. The Wildcats host Puget Sound for a four-game series on Saturday and Sunday. All four games will be streamed on the LSN.
