PENSACOLA, Fla. - The University of West Florida softball team will just play one team this week and that team is No. 8 Alabama Huntsville. The Argonauts (6-17, 3-9) will face the Chargers March 14-15 for a three game, Gulf South Conference series.

West Florida will face the Chargers in a doubleheader on Saturday, March 14 with first pitch slated for 1 p.m. CT. UWF and UAH will wrap-up the series with a single game on Sunday, March 15 at 1 p.m. CT.
 
The Argos will face another nationally ranked opponent for the third time this season and the second time with an opponent ranked in the top 10. The Chargers (13-5, 8-2 GSC) are currently second in the GSC standings and last played March 8-9 in a series with Shorter University. UAH defeated the Hawks in two games to win the three game series. 

For her efforts during the series, UAH infielder Kaitlyn Bannister was named the GSC Player of the Week. She led the Chargers by batting .444 with four hits and drove in six runs. On the strength of two home runs, Bannister scored twice while racking up 10 total bases, and she slugged at a 1.111 clip in the three-game set against Shorter.

On the season, Alabama-Huntsville is led offensively by Brianna Sullivan after she averages .483 at the plate, ranking her third in the GSC. She also is tied for her team lead in steals with 10 in 13 attempts and has totaled 28 hits, three doubles, and eight RBI so far this season.

UAH is led in the circle by Kimberly Jack who has posted a 5-1 record so far this season and is the conference's leader in ERA with a 0.69 mark.
 
University of West Florida sophomore Becca Taylor (Panama City, Fla./Rutherford HS) had a career day Tuesday afternoon after she pitched a one-hit shutout in West Florida's 3-0 win against Mercyhurst University. Taylor only walked four batters in the contest and struck out three in the game. Taylor was helped by her fellow defensive teammates as she forced 13 groundouts. 

"Becca did a great job for us today," said head coach Melissa Paul. "She's hitting her spots and keeping the ball down, and we can't ask anything more from her. She's giving us a lot of confidence heading into the weekend."
