TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama softball’s freshman pitching duo of Vic Moten and Kaitlyn Pallozzi were both recognized by the Southeastern Conference Monday for their stellar performances last weekend at the Dugout Club Classic, with Moten selected as the SEC Pitcher of the Week and Pallozzi as the SEC Freshman of the Week.

Moten, who previously earned Freshman of the Week honors from D1 Softball and Softball America after week one, takes home this week’s SEC Pitcher of the Week accolades following a 2-0 weekend in Tallahassee. The Daphne, Ala., native threw a complete-game shutout on the road over the sixth-ranked Seminoles, holding them to just three hits while striking out a season-high seven. On Sunday, she threw 2.2 hitless relief innings vs. Dartmouth to earn the win, tacking on four more strikeouts to her weekend total. She has now thrown 23.2 consecutive scoreless innings, with her last run allowed coming in the first inning against Georgia Tech on Feb. 7.

Pallozzi opened the Crimson Tide’s weekend with a bang, throwing a perfect game Friday vs. Elon. The Wixom, Mich., native is the first freshman in program history to throw a perfect game and it is just the 10th perfect game all-time at Alabama, the first since Montana Fouts on May 5, 2023 at Ole Miss.
