FANTASTIC FRESHMAN: Grand Valley State freshman starter Courtney Reinhold practices on the field in the Kelly Family Sports Center. Reinhold was tabbed as the GLIAC Pitcher of the Week after an impressive start to her GVSU career. The Saginaw, Mich, native is 5-1 through 39.1 innings of work with a miniscule earned run average of 1.07 so far this season.
