Oklahoma Softball standout Ella Parker has earned her first career Southeastern Conference (SEC) Softball Co-Player of the Week honor, as announced by the conference office on Monday, February 10. Parker shares the accolade with Auburn’s Nelia Peralta, marking a historic moment as she becomes the first Oklahoma player to receive SEC Player of the Week recognition in program history.
Dominant Performance Fuels Sooners’ Perfect Week
Parker played a pivotal role in the No. 2-ranked Sooners’ dominant 6-0 performance during their trip to California, showcasing her all-around offensive and defensive abilities. The sophomore slugger posted an impressive .591 batting average (13-for-22), tallying 10 runs, five doubles, one home run, eight RBIs, three walks, and three stolen bases.
One of the highlights of Parker’s week came in a homecoming moment as she launched a solo home run to center field against Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. Demonstrating her versatility, Parker started games in both corner outfield positions and as a designated player, flawlessly converting all nine defensive opportunities that came her
way.
