March 28, 2006 DARCY WOOD NAMED VALLEY PITCHER OF THE WEEK ST. LOUIS – Indiana State sophomore pitcher Darcy Wood has been named the Missouri Valley Conference’s Pitcher of the Week for her efforts this past weekend as ISU took 2-of-3 contests from league preseason favorite Wichita State. Wood was not scored upon in two complete game victories over Wichita State this past weekend. She finished the week with a 0.00 ERA, and a perfect 2-0 record. The right-hander was credited with both of ISU shutouts on the year -- just the third and fourth times this year that the high-powered Shocker offense has not scored a run. In 14 innings of work, the sophomore scattered eight hits and allowed no runs. She struck out 13 Shockers over the two-game stretch, while WSU hit .167 against her. Wood allowed 10 total baserunners during the series. Her impressive weekend in the circle gives Wood 312 career strikeouts, which vaulted her to second place all-time in the school's record book. This is the second time in her career that Wood has taken The Valley’s top weekly pitching honor. Indiana State stays at Price Field on Wednesday as they host Illinois State in a MVC doubleheader. First pitch is set for 2:00 p.m. (EST).
