CATONSVILLE, Md. – The NJCAA announced its Players of the Week for the week of March 25-31 and Casey Turner of CCBC Catonsville was named DII Softball Player of the Week, which was the first Player of the Week honor for the Lady Cardinals since the 2013 season.

The Baltimore native batted .609 during the week including nine extra base hits and driving in 15 runs to lead the Lady Cardinals to a record of 7-1 during the week.
