Hawkins had 14 strikeouts alone in Friday’s game, helping the Ducks to a 2-0 win.
In the series finale against Washington on March 21, Hawkins came in relief to finish out the final 3.2 innings, allowing one hit and striking out two.
Hawkins received Pac-12 pitcher of the week honors and Oregon’s Nikki Udria earned the player of the week award on Monday.
The No. 4 Ducks return to action this weekend in Eugene with a three-game series against No. 16 UCLA.
