NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- North Park's Alyssa Aragon and Wheaton's Alese Antonello were selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Softball Student-Athletes of the Week on Tuesday.

Aragon, a senior utility athlete from Niles, Illinois and Niles North High School, became the first in North Park softball history to hit two home runs in one game twice on Saturday.

She tossed a complete-game one-hitter in Wheaton's 3-0 shutout of Penn State-Behrend on March 8. Her second win of the week came in a 5-1 victory over Ohio Wesleyan on March 11 as she pitched her second complete game and gave up just one run.
