SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Omaha softball sophomore pitcher Maddia Groff and sophomore outfielder Sammy Schmidt were named Kwik Star Summit League Peak Pitcher and Peak Performer of the Week, respectively, it was announced Monday.

Omaha's Ava Rongisch was the week one Kwik Star Summit League Peak Performer of the Week.

Groff had herself a week in the circle as the Mavericks took part in the FGCU Invitational in Fort Meyers, Fla. Groff pitched in three of Omaha's five games, going 3-0 with a pair of starts. Groff pitched two complete games with two shutouts en route to a 0.00 earned run average against Wisconsin, Seton Hall and Florida Gulf Coast. Clocking double-digit strikeouts twice (12 vs. Wisconsin, 11 at FGCU), Groff finished the weekend with 27 strikeouts, allowing only nine hits in 17.0 innings pitched.

Groff did not allow a hit, walking two, in three innings of relief work against the Pirates.

With a season ERA of 0.88, Groff has 52 total strikeouts, the most in the Summit League and third among Division I pitchers.

Schmidt was an offensive power for the Mavericks making four starts for Omaha, going 8-for-15, good for a .533 average over the weekend. Schmidt scored five runs, batted in five runs and registered eight total bases. With a .533 slugging percentage and on-base percentage of .500, Schmidt was a threat in the middle of the lineup. She stole two bases in two attempts (both vs. Seton Hall [2/14 and 2/15]). Schmidt went 3-for-4 in the weekend finale at Florida Gulf Coast with an RBI.

Omaha softball is currently 9-1 on the season having won five-straight games.
