Stewart earns the honor for the first time in her career.

The freshman led Northern to a 2-2 week.

In an 8-5 victory over non-conference foe Wooster, Stewart went 3-for-4 at the plate and recorded her second multi home run game of her career.

The freshman also added five RBI and three runs scored.

Northern concluded its season this past weekend at Capital and finished 25-13 overall and 9-9 in the OAC under first-year head coach Jackie Mangola.
