SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Yellowjackets had freshman outfielder Peyton Bennett (Harrisburg, S.D./Harrisburg) named the UMAC softball player of the week, the league announced Tuesday morning.
 
Bennett paced the Yellowjacket offense in last weekend's UMAC series with Bethany Lutheran. She hit .500 across the three-game series (4-8) which included a pair of homers, four runs scored and two RBIs. Bennett sits third on the Yellowjackets in average (.448), while leading in total hits (60), stolen bases (27) and doubles (13).
 
The Yellowjackets (30-10 overall, 15-3 UMAC) return to action Thursday as they enter the UMAC postseason tournament, hosted by Bethany Lutheran College. Superior takes on Northwestern at 2 p.m. at Thomas Park.
