STANDISH, Maine – Saint Joseph's College senior third baseman Kim Jordan (Standish, Maine) has collected ECAC DIII New England Softball Co-Player of the Week honors.

Jordan, who also earned GNAC Player of the Week honors for her performance, is the team leader in batting, runs and triples and sports a .950 fielding percentage with just two errors in 40 chances through 12 contests this spring.
For Jordan, the ECAC weekly honor is the second of the young season, as the senior captain earned the same award on March 9th after hitting .625 (5-8) with four runs, a double, a triple and two RBI in wins over Dominican and Wisconsin-Lutheran the previous day.
A career .303 (121-399) hitter, Jordan has recorded 104 runs with 26 doubles, 12 triples, six home runs, 48 RBI and 25 stolen bases through 138 collegiate games.
