Tavidian Named MIAA Pitcher of the Week

ALMA, Mich. - Alma senior Melissa Tavidian (New Hudson/South Lyon) has been named the MIAA pitcher of the week for the fourth time in her career, the conference office announced Sunday evening.

Last week in two appearances (1-1) she did not allow an earned run over 10 innings pitched while allowing four hits, striking out eight and walking four.

 

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term ’08, students toured cultural sites in Argentina, studied lizards in Jamaica, analyzed World War II topics at the British National Archives in London, performed music in Italy, and examined the natural wonders of New Zealand.
