Shorter also led the team in RBIs (6) and runs scored (4) while posting a 1.308 slugging percentage and a .538 on-base percentage in the three games. 

Shorter’s selection marks the 23rd time overall in the program’s history that an Austin Peay State University softball player has been selected OVC Player of the Week.
