WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – For the first time in her career, Julia Gossett was named the Big Ten Co-Pitcher of the week after her outstanding performances against IU Indy and Illinois.
Gossett earned the honor alongside Oregon, junior pitcher, Lindsey Grein. Grein pitched in all three games in No. 6 Oregon's series win over No. 5 UCLA.
Gossett, a sophomore from Massillon, Ohio, is the first Purdue player to earn a Big Ten weekly honor this season, and the first Boilermaker pitcher to earn the award since Sydney Bates in 2018.
Gossett earned a 0.91 earned run average over the four games, with three victories, and 27 strikeouts, surrendering just two runs during the week.
In the victory over IU Indy, Gossett tossed a career-high 14 strikeouts, which tied the single-game Purdue record for fifth most strikeouts. The last time a Boiler threw 14 strikeouts was Sheryl Scheve vs. Wichita State in 1998; Gossett's being the most since 2016 when Lily Fecho tossed 15 k's against Southern Utah.
Gossett earned her third victory of the week while throwing 1.1 innings to help the Boilers secure the series sweep over Illinois in game three.
The sophomore leads Purdue in strikeouts (106), games started and is tied for shutouts. She is tied for sixth in the Big Ten in shutouts, tied for 10th in strikeouts, and 23rd in ERA.
