It is the second time this season that Harrer has been chosen LSC Pitcher-of-the-Week. She also received the award for her efforts during the week ending Mar. 13.

Harrer began the week by throwing a no-hitter against the University of Texas-Permian Basin. The Greyhounds won the game 8-0 on the run rule in five innings. Harrer did not throw against UTPB in the second game, but the Zias still registered another 8-0, five-inning, run rule win.

In the third game, she did not receive a decision, as the Pioneers took a 10-8 victory. Harrer earned her first save of the year in the fourth game, a 3-2 ENMU win. For the week, Harrer recorded 28 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings pitched. She walked 3 batters, and allowed only 3 earned runs. She limited opponents to just 4 extra-base hits, all doubles.

Harrer is 9-8 on the season with a 3.07 ERA. She leads the Zias with 104 strikeouts in 107 1/3 innings pitched. She has held opponents to a .269 batting average.
