MEAC Honors Three Outstanding Performers in Weekly Softball Awards

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced its weekly softball honors on April 27, 2026, recognizing three exceptional student-athletes from across the conference for their outstanding performances on the diamond.

Morgan State junior Millie Cousins earned the league's top individual honor, being named MEAC Softball Player of the Week. The recognition highlights Cousins' stellar week of play for the Bears, adding to what has been a remarkable junior campaign.

Meanwhile, Norfolk State's Samantha Stevenson captured Rookie of the Week honors, demonstrating the immediate impact first-year players are making in MEAC softball.

On the pitching side, Delaware State's Kristin White was honored as the Pitcher of the Week. White's dominance in the circle earned her the recognition as one of the conference's top performers, bolstering the Hornets' pitching staff during a crucial stretch of the season.

The weekly awards, announced from the MEAC office in Norfolk, Virginia, continue to highlight the competitive balance and individual excellence that define MEAC softball. These three student-athletes represent the dedication and skill that HBCU softball players bring to the field each week.

As the season progresses, performances like those turned in by Cousins, Stevenson, and White underscore the growing strength of softball programs across the MEAC. These honors not only celebrate individual achievement but also shine a spotlight on the quality of competition within the conference and the bright futures these student-athletes are building both on and off the field.
