Kieley Ganaden of Cal State Monterey Bay has been voted as the FloCollege/CCAA Softball Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 16-22.

Ganaden batted .750 with a slugging percentage of 1.625 while posting a .846 on-base percentage for a red-hot offensive performance in three games she appeared in. She went 6-for-8 with two triples, a homer, drove in eight runs and scored five times to lead the Otters to wins over Dominican and Menlo College.

The senior utility player from Salinas, Calif., also walked four times and was hit by a pitch once to contribute to her solid OPS of 2.471. Ganaden extended her hitting streak to 11 games and has reached base safely in 13 consecutive games.

After sitting out Wednesday’s first game, Ganaden went 2-for-3 with a bases-clearing three-run triple in the second inning. The third baseman also drew a bases loaded walk in the fourth to account for her 4-RBI game. In Friday’s first game against Menlo, Ganaden was 3-for-4 with a triple and drove in two scores as the DP. In the nightcap, as the left fielder, she belted a two-run jack in the fourth to help CSUMB to a 8-0 shortened game.

Ganaden is second in the CCAA — behind CSUSM’s Jillian Albayati — in batting (.511), slugging (.822), on-base (.585) percentages, as well as OPS (1.407). She is also second in hits (23) and third in runs (17) and RBI (18). Click here to see the CCAA stats leaderboard
