KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State freshman Alley Cutting was honored for her dominant performance during the Dr. Bobbie Bailey Memorial Tournament this past weekend by being named ASUN Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced on Monday (Mar. 5). It marks the first time in her career that she has been honored.
 
During her three-game appearance Cutting registered a 2-0 record, one save and 0.00 ERA. The Owl's freshman allowed five hits, no earned runs, walked three and struck out 17 while limiting opposing batters to a .096 average during 16 innings of work.
 
The highlight of the weekend came on Friday against Dartmouth when Cutting pitched a six-inning perfect game against Dartmouth. She retired all 18 batters in 71 pitches while striking out eight. The Grand Island, N.Y. native started the game with two first-inning strikeouts and stuck out at least one batter in five of six innings. She also induced six ground ball outs, a pop out and fly ball to the outfield.

Cutting returned to the circle Saturday and helped secure the win for the Owl's after allowing four hits, an unearned run, and striking out five in a complete-game effort against UAB.
 
She finished the weekend strongly by earning her first career save against Akron after allowing one hit, a walk, an unearned run, and struck out four on Sunday.
 
Cutting's efforts helped Kennesaw State to a 4-1 mark during the weekend and improve to 14-5 on the season.
 
The Owls return to action Wednesday when they travel to Nashville, Tenn., to play a doubleheader at Belmont beginning at 4 p.m. (ET).
