HILLSBORO, Ore. —Pacific Lutheran University's Paige Wilson maintained her stranglehold on Northwest Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week on Monday, securing the award for the fourth consecutive week. 

The Carlsbad, California native earns the nod after pitching two complete games over the weekend, allowing no earned runs as the 21st-ranked Lutes' (32-8, 24-4 NWC) secured the program's first NWC regular season title since 2003.

The junior allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out six in a 15-0 shellacking of Whitworth University on Saturday. Wilson was back inside the circle the next day, powering the Lutes' to a 4-1 victory over the Pirates. Her efforts helped PLU sweep the series with Whitworth and enters the postseason on a six game winning streak.
 
Wilson had nine strikeouts over the weekend while allowing just two walks and nine hits in 12 innings of work. A four-time NWC Pitcher of the Week, Wilson sports a 2.24 earned run average on the season with an 18-1 record with 120 strikeouts across 118 2/3 innings of work.
 
Wilson and the Lutes are back in action on Friday, opening the 2026 NWC Tournament at home against fourth-seed George Fox University.
