Floyd named Pitcher of the Week
Louisiana Tech’s Allie Floyd has been named Conference USA Pitcher of the Week, announced by the league office on Monday.
The senior was nearly flawless in the circle for the Bulldogs this week, posting a 2-0 record across three appearances, including two complete-game victories. The right-hander logged 20 innings, highlighted by an 11-inning complete game win and a seven-inning complete-game win with a 0.70 ERA.
Floyd allowed just eight hits over 20 innings, none for extra bases, with five of the eight coming on bunt singles. She struck out 14 and issued four walks while surrendering only two earned runs.
She pitched all 11 innings in Tech’s 3-2 win over ULM on Thursday night, allowing five hits (three bunt singles) and two runs while striking out five. The 3-2 win over ULM is the Warhawks’ only loss in their last 12 games.
Floyd also tossed a complete game Sunday against Southern Miss, giving up three hits (two bunt singles) with seven strikeouts and no earned runs in a 4-1 victory.
The Texas native also made a two-inning appearance against Northwestern State, retiring all six batters she faced. She struck out two and did not allow a run, hit or walk.
Floyd leads the team in every major category, registering a 4-1 record with a 1.17 ERA over 45 innings, including three complete-game victories. She has struck out 39, allowed 11 earned runs and limited opponents to a .195 batting average.
This marks Floyd’s fourth career CUSA pitcher of the Week award (Feb. 26, 2024 | Apr. 7, 2025 | Apr. 21, 2025 | Feb. 23, 2026).
