Copiah-Lincoln Community College sophomore pitcher Emily Richarde recently had a big week in the circle for the Wolves, the type that leads to accolades and honors. 

Richarde, a native of Tennessee, threw a perfect game in a 2-0 win for CLCC against Meridian. The right-handed Richarde struck out nine batters in a win that moved for to 6-0 in the season. 

She also got a pair of wins over ranked opponents last week, which led to Richarde first being named MACCC pitcher of the week on the state level. She was then tabbed as the NJCAA pitcher of the week on the national level for head coach Meleah Howard and her staff.
