Kansas City, Mo. - After four stellar outings this past week, Central Methodist senior pitcher Madison Love was named the Heart of America Pitcher of the Week, announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.

The New Bloomfield, Mo. native tossed a no-hitter in the 13-0 win over Louisiana College on Feb. 23, striking out seven. In the 9-0 victory against Tabor, she was one-hit away from back-to-back no-hitters, as she allowed just one hit and struck out nine batters, with two walks.
