Mside gathers weekly league award

Morningside University freshman pitcher Grace Buffington (Gretna, Neb.) was named the Great Plains Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for March 21-27 on a Tuesday, March 29, league release.

Buffington compiled a memorable complete-game win over co-GPAC preseason favorite University of Jamestown on March 26. She didn't allow a Jimmies base-runner and struck out three with only 68 pitches to send the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' No. 24 ranked Mustangs to a 6-0 game two triumph. It was the program's first perfect game since 2016.
