After leading Princeton's starters with a .545 batting average on the weekend, senior outfielder Serena Starks has been named the Ivy League Player of the Week.

Starks had hits in all three games against Cornell, going 6 for 11 with a double to slug .636 and drawing a walk to have an on-base percentage of .583. Starks struck out just once on the weekend and was perfect on five chances in the outfield.

Starks and the Tigers sit atop the Ivy League at 12-3 alongside Harvard, this weekend's opponent for two games Saturday and one Sunday, both 12:30 starts at Princeton Softball Stadium at Strubing Field. Admission is free.
