For the second straight week, the Wayne State College softball team has received NSIC Player of the Week honors as junior outfielder Emilee Marth was announced Monday afternoon as this week's Northern Sun Conference Softball Player of the Week following last week's selection of sophomore catcher Reagan Dreibelbis (dry-bull-bis).
            Marth, a graduate of Nebraska City High School, posted a .583 batting average last week in Wayne State's final four games of their Florida spring break trip going 7 for 12 at the plate.  She had one homer, one triple, a double and eight RBI with six runs scored.  Marth was 3 for 3 with a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in a 12-2 win over Point Park (Pa.) and went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBI in a 6-5 victory vs. Northwood (Mich.).
