NORMAN — For the fourth time this season and second week in a row, Oklahoma junior pitcher Giselle Juarez has been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

This marks the 12th league honor for the Sooners this season.

Juarez went 2-0 in two appearances (one start) on the road against No. 11/10 Texas. Last weekend, both her 7.64 strikeouts per seven innings pitched and 12 total strikeouts ranked second in the Big 12. 

The Glendale, Ariz. native struck out 10 batters in the series opener, her sixth performance this season with double-digit strikeouts. Her 10 strikeouts were the most in a single game against the Longhorns this season.

Juarez totaled a 1.27 ERA against Texas and a .268 opponent batting average. She opened the series against the 11th-ranked Longhorns, tossing all seven innings to earn her sixth complete-game showing of the year and second in conference play.

The Sooners travel to Wichita, Kan., to face Wichita State on April 24, before heading to Ames, Iowa for a conference series at Iowa State April 26-28.
