    After a pair of shutout victories this past week, Northwestern State not only is on the brink of its second Southland Conference championship in five seasons but also earned a sweep of the SLC weekly awards, the conference announced Tuesday.

    The wins over McNeese on Thursday and UIW on Sunday earned Paige Baumgartner (offensive), Jessica Spitzer (defensive) and Kennedy Rist (goalkeeper) weekly awards.

    This is the first time NSU has swept the weekly conference awards since 2022 when Olivia Draguicevich, Nicole Henry and Chloe DeShazer won the awards to finish off the regular season.
