Frazier Tabbed C-USA Player of the Week

DALLAS – Catcher Sierra Frazier has been named Conference USA player of the week after a stellar performance at the plate in the Buzz Classic in Atlanta this past weekend.

The sophomore batted .563 on the weekend with nine hits, three home runs, four doubles, four walks and nine RBI over five games. Frazier’s weekend was highlighted by a 3-for-4, two home run, four RBI showing against No. 1 Washington as she helped the Blazers erase a 6-0 deficit against the Huskies. 

The Corona, Calif. native slugged 1.375 and recorded an on base percentage of .650 as the Blazers won four of five games in the Buzz Classic including knocking off host school Georgia Tech 9-3 in the season opener. 

In UAB’s second game of the tournament, Frazier went yard to put UAB on the board against Ohio and help lead a comeback that would give the Blazers an opening day sweep of its opponents. In the Blazers’ second meeting with the Bobcats, she roped a bases clearing, three RBI double to put UAB ahead of Ohio. 

In the tournament finale against Furman, Frazier’s RBI double off the top of the center field wall helped UAB complete a 4-1 weekend, with its only loss coming on a walk off to No. 1 Washington. Frazier recorded a hit in each of UAB’s five games and scored five runs on the weekend. 

“Sierra was one of the best players in the country this weekend,” said head coach Jimmy Kolaitis. “We played a tough schedule week one against some solid pitching. She had great at bats throughout the weekend and came up with some clutch hits including three big hits against Washington. All of her RBI came in tight situations, which shows the ice she has in her veins.”

Frazier is the first Blazer to win C-USA Player of the Week since March of 2018.
