TOWSON, Md. --- Moravian University junior pitcher Natalie Otto has been selected as the Landmark Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week for her performance last week.
Otto had a 1-0 week and did not allow a run while helping No. 12 Moravian to a 5-1 mark last week as the Greyhounds clinched a berth in the 2025 Landmark Conference Tournament. Otto appeared in four of the six games, and she recorded a shutout, a completed game and 15 strikeouts in 10.2 innings while scattering nine hits and two walks during the week. She allowed just five hits and no walks to go with nine strikeouts in a 6-0 victory over DeSales University in her only start of the week. Otto also combined on a shutout in the opening game of a sweep at The University of Scranton.
"Nat had a really strong week in the circle," stated Head Coach Josh Baltz. "She's been throwing extremely well lately, whether she's starting or coming in for relief. Her ability to generate a lot of swings and misses is huge, especially as we head into the later part of our season."
The Greyhounds, who are 31-5 on the year, are slated to return to action on Tuesday, April 29 when the squad heads to Elizabethtown College in a Landmark Conference doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m. in Elizabethtown.
