NIACC's Bunkers earns ICCAC honor

MASON CITY - NIACC freshman Mya Bunkers was selected as the ICCAC Division II softball player of the week for the week of Feb. 10-16.

Bunkers, a shortstop is from Remsen, was 10 for 15 with four home runs, three doubles, 15 RBIs and 10 runs scored as the No. 24 Trojans opened their season by going 3-1 at the Branson Juco Jam in Branson, Mo. In a 34-7 win over Mineral Area College, Bunkers was 3 for 4 with a home run, double and seven RBIs.
