SPARTANBURG, S.C.— The Southern Conference office announced this afternoon its selections for SoCon Pitcher and Player of the Week for games played from April 7 to April 12. Wofford junior right-handed pitcher Alec Bouchard was selected as the pitcher of the week. The selections are made by the league office.

"I'm really proud of the consistency Alec has brought this year," head coach J.J. Edwards said. "He's been nothing but great week in and week out. We're very happy for him to be recognized for his phenomenal work this past week."

This is Wofford's first time having back-to-back SoCon honors this season with Ben Timblin grabbing player of the week recognition last Monday. This is also Bouchard's first pitcher of the week honors in his career as a Terrier.

Bouchard started in Wofford's series opener against The Citadel last Friday, pitching for seven innings. He threw a career-high 12 strikeouts, the most from a Wofford pitcher since Zac Cowan threw 14 strikeouts against Mercer on April 19, 2024. Bouchard gave up just five hits and walked one batter in his seven-inning appearance as the Terriers won 2-0.

The Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, native sports a 6-2 record, ranking first in the Southern Conference and 13^th in the nation with six victories. Bouchard is also first in the conference with 61 strikeouts, a season best for the junior. He has a 1.64 ERA through 49.1 innings pitched.

The Terriers will be back at Russell C. King Field on Tuesday, April 14, as they face off against Presbyterian College with first pitch slated for 5:30 p.m., streaming on ESPN +.
