IRVING, Texas – East Carolina junior outfielder Emma Jackson has been named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week according to an announcement from the league office on Monday afternoon.

WATCH: Saturday’s homer against UTSA

Jackson had a stellar stretch of games at the plate last week for the Pirates, slashing numbers of .583/1.333/.706 while hitting three home runs, recording nine RBI and tallying 16 total bases.

WATCH: Friday’s grand slam against UTSA

In the Pirates’ 2-1 win over Michigan last Wednesday, Jackson hit the go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth to help get ECU the win. The junior tied a season-high twice with three hits in the first two games of the UTSA series, including hitting a grand slam in ECU’s 10-5 series-opening win. Jackson came up clutch again in the second game of the series, hitting a three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to help the Pirates outlast UTSA in extra innings, 9-6.

Jackson and the Pirates will visit NC State tomorrow night at 6 p.m. on ACC Network Extra before hosting Tulsa for a weekend conference series starting Friday at 5 p.m.
