Congratulations to BlueWave softball player Jessica Delawder, whose hard work on the field paid off twice last month.

The sophomore was named both the state and national Player of The Week! The Division I player’s talents were recognized by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Jessica was also honored as NJCAA Division I Softball Player of the Week during her freshman year. She was acknowledged for her performance at the state tournament during the last week of that season.

Her current batting average is .483, which is fifth in the state. She is second in the state in RBIs (runs batted in) with 32 in 19 games, and has hit six homeruns. Defensively, Jessica has committed only one error in 19 games as the second baseman, and has helped lead the team to a 17-2 record. She ranks ninth nationally in RBIs and 19th in homeruns. The Farmington, Connecticut, native is a nursing major at FSCJ.
