ROSEMONT, Ill. – Mia Davidson-Smith was named an MVP in two of three games in Week 2 of Athletes Unlimited play on her way to collecting a career-high weekly total of 514 points. Her total was the second-highest of any player in the league in Week 2, and she now stands in second place overall with 828 points, just 22 points back of the overall leader, Megan Faraimo.

As a result, the former Mississippi State All-American has earned her first career Athletes Unlimited captaincy and will lead the orange team in Week 3.

The week began with a 120-point showing for Davidson-Smith as her team claimed all but one inning's worth of the available win points. She added a base hit to the winning effort, going 1-for-3.

On Saturday, Davidson-Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer while also collecting a single and being intentionally walked. Her team again won all but one inning, allowing her to claim a career-best 208 points. Of those, 58 were stat points, and she was awarded 40 points with her No. 2 MVP nod.

On Sunday, Davidson-Smith's group took home 110 of the 120 available win points for the third time, and she launched a solo homer along the way. She finished with 56 stat points and her fourth MVP selection of her career netted her another 20 points.
