Softball's Rachel Gillen Named Zipcar Athlete of the Month

Bronx, N.Y. - After earning three consecutive Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Week honors, redshirt junior Rachel Gillen of the softball team was named the Fordham Athletics Zipcar Performer of the Month for April.
 
In her most recent action for the week of April 20-26, Gillen, a southpaw from Wilmington, Del., moved to 19-8 and tossed two more complete games to give her 15 this season while collecting her sixth shutout. She did not allow an earned run over 12.0 innings, which lowered her overall ERA to 2.59, and gave her a perfect 0.00 for the week. She scattered three hits, walked none and fanned three in the 5.0 inning complete-game shutout in the opener against George Washington, needing only 65 pitches. She allowed three more hits, walked three, whiffed six and narrowly missed another shutout in the series when an unearned run scored in her second complete-game of the weekend.
