PINEVILLE, La. – The Louisiana Christian University athletics program recognizes baseball's Brady Huffman and women's tennis' Alexandra Cedeno as this week's LCU Student-Athletes of the Week, the latter being named RRAC Player of the Week.
 
Huffman, a hometown redshirt freshman, set single-game season-highs regarding RBIs (5), hits (3 - twice), runs scored (2) and hit his first career home run in the weekend series at Huston-Tillotson. The former Pineville HS Rebel led the Wildcats in slugging percentage (.769), total bases (10), RBIs (8), hits (6), extra-base hits (2), home runs (1), doubles (1) and sacrifice flies (1) while also hitting .462 in addition to four runs scored, a walk plus a trio putouts in the outfield without an error.
 
Cedeno, a sophomore from Caracas, Miranda, Venezuela, joins a very exclusive list in the Court Cats' modern era alongside Taylor Henderson (March 2, 2011), Heather Seals (February 9, 2005), and Courtney Joiner (March 9, 2004) as the only student-athletes to get such an honor since 2000. Against #8 Loyola (New Orleans), she was the only player to win a set outside of the point scorer (Adjowa-Sika Geli), going down to the wire before succumbing to Avrora Volkova at 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), 4-10. Versus #9 LSU Alexandria, she helped seal the biggest ranked win in program history over the Generals, the team's first ever win against LSUA, recording the clinching point to erase a 3-1 deficit. Cedeno secured the comeback clincher on court number four, erasing a first set loss (4-6) to snag the final two (6-3, 6-2) opposite Gianna Panaggio on top of securing the doubles point with her partner Patricia Principal Pineda when they bested Nahia Echaide / Joline Roesch by a score of 6-3 on the top flight. The Venezuelan right-hander is tied with Geli for the best overall singles record in 2025, boasting a winning percentage of 68.8% (11-5) including a perfect 4-0 in Red River Athletic Conference competition and has gone 8-1 (88.9%) over her past nine completed matches.
 
Senior week has arrived for the Pineville Nine with the Texarkana Eagles in town for a single game on Thursday (4 p.m.) followed by a Senior Day doubleheader on Friday starting at noon.
 
Head Coach Alexandra Starkova, Cedeno, and the rest of the ladies from Pineville will look to keep writing new chapters in this storybook of a season when they travel to San Antonio as the fifth seed for the RRAC Tournament, beginning Thursday at 8 a.m. vs. the fourth seed and #25 in the NAIA, LSU Shreveport.
