Senior right-handed pitcher Rachel Davis of the Francis Marion University softball team has been named the McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 27-Mar.5, 2023.

The Mechanicsville, Va., native went 3-0 in three starts with two complete games and a 0.88 ERA last week, including her first career no-hitter.  She logged 16.0 innings and allowed only seven hits, two runs, and two walks, while striking out 13.  Opponents batted only. .132 against her in her three appearances.

She tossed a no-hitter in a 9-0 win over Chestnut Hill College on March 4 during which she needed only 66 pitches and struck out five.  She also had a complete-game 5-2 win over Georgian Court University on March 2.

The Patriots' only action this week is a road doubleheader at nationally ranked Lenior-Rhyne University on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
