WALNUT CREEK, Calif - Oregon State senior Brianne McGowan was named the Pac-10 Softball Pitcher of the Week for Mar. 27th-Apr. 2nd, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced on Tuesday.

McGowan, a two-time All-American and the 2005 Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year, threw 28 of a possible 33 innings for the Beavers last week, including every pitch in Oregon State’s three conference games.

Highlighting her week in the circle was a 6-0 victory over University of California – a rematch of last season’s NCAA Super Regional – in which she pitched a complete game shutout for her 92nd career victory, a new program record. It was also McGowan’s 33rd career shutout, breaking the school’s 22-year-old shutouts record.

For the week, the Reno, NV, native boasted a 3-1 record with four complete games and two shutouts.

She held a 1.00 ERA in 28.0 innings of work and compiled 20 strikeouts, moving within 14 K’s of Crystal Draper’s (1999-02) school record of 809.

The Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week honor is the sixth in McGowan’s career, tying her for the eighth-most in conference history.

It is the 31st Pac-10 Player/Pitcher of the Week award all-time for Oregon State.
