The Greencastle, Ind., native made two appearances over the weekend, including a complete-game shutout of Cedarville University. Mundy tossed all seven innings, scattering seven hits, walking two and striking out six. In the first game at the University of Findlay on Saturday, Mundy went 4.2 innings, allowing six hits and one unearned run, while walking one and striking out six more batters. Mundy is the second Cardinal to win the weekly GLIAC honor this season, joining Sarah Gersch, who was named the Player of the Week on Feb. 23.
