Senior Gelmetti wins award

    While the Tufts softball team keeps racking up wins, it is also earning accolades along the way. Senior pitcher Lauren Gelmetti is the latest member of the undefeated Jumbos (21-0, 6-0 NESCAC) to garner a NESCAC award, winning the conference's Pitcher of the Week honor. The lefty was sensational over the past week, winning games versus Springfield, Bridgewater State and Trinity.
    Gelmetti saved the best for last this weekend, coming one out away from no-hitting the Bantams. She struck out three batters and did not allow a runner to reach scoring position until the last inning. She also shut out Bridgewater State in a five inning mercy rule game that the Jumbos won 14-0 on Thursday. Over the course of the week, Gelmetti let up just six hits in 16 innings, striking out 12 batters with an ERA of just 0.56.
    The stellar run brought her season numbers to a 1.39 ERA, fifth in the NESCAC, and helped bring her record to 9-0. She also improved her career winning percentage to .837, the best in Tufts history. Gelmetti and the Jumbos will try to stay perfect this weekend with a trio of games at home versus Colby.
