Bishop's Big Week at the Plate Earns Her GNAC Player of the Week Accolade

PORTLAND, Ore. -- It was a week to remember in a lot of ways for Chandler Bishop. Not only did she have a walk-off grand slam in extra innings, but she hit .636 in the four games against Northwest Nazarene to be named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday.

Bishop put together a massive weekend in helping WOU to a 3-1 GNAC series win over Northwest Nazarene. The senior hit .636 for the week, going 7-11 with a hit in all four games. She drove in nine runs with three home runs, a double and also added a walk. Bishop ended the second game of the series in style when she connected on a grand slam in the 11th inning to give WOU the walk-off 13-9 victory. In that game she went 3-5 with four RBI and two runs scored. In the first and final games of the series, Bishop connected on home runs. In the opener, her two-run shot helped WOU win the first game and in the finale, another two-run homer kept the Wolves close. In addition to those numbers, Bishop slugged 1.545 for the week and had a .667 on-base percentage. Bishop played first base throughout the week coming away with 25 putouts and an assist without an error.

WOU will travel to Montana this weekend to open a four-game GNAC series at Montana State Billings starting on Saturday at 1 p.m.
