Triton's Stramaglia receives NJCAA national weekly award
The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) has named Triton College sophomore Alyssa Stramaglia as the Division II Softball Pitcher of the Week for March 29-April 4 (Week 9). The award is the first such honor for Stramaglia, and the first award this year for the Trojans.
Stramaglia, a righthander from Melrose Park, Illinois, guided Triton College to a pair of wins over Joliet Junior College and McHenry County College. In the 5-1 defeat of the Wolves, Stramaglia struck out seven batters in just three innings and did not allow a single hit or run. The next day, she recorded 11 K's and allowed one earned run on two hits in a 9-1 victory over the Scots in which she tossed five innings. She finished the week with 18 strikeouts and a 1.13 earned run average.
