The Big Ten has named Iowa senior pitcher Kayla Massey Pitcher of the Week for the first time since her sophomore season with the Black and Gold.

The Foothill Ranch, Calif., posted her fourth and fifth complete-game wins of the season in the squad’s second-consecutive Big Ten series victory, this time against Wisconsin.

Massey also went 2-for-4 at the plate for the Hawkeyes against the Badgers, including a solo home.

The Hawkeyes will return to action for their first home game of the year against Drake on Wednesday.
