BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana Softball junior Taylor Uden has been named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week, the conference announced today.

Against Bowling Green on Saturday, Uden went 2-for-3 with a homer, a double and three runs scored in Indiana's 11-3 run-rule victory. In the second game of the day, she was a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI, a double and another home run.
