MEAC Pitcher of the Year Aiko Conaway gives Howard a true ace in the circle
Aiko Conaway is a high-upside, battle-tested right-hander who anchored Howard’s 2026 staff with an 11-8 record, 2.98 ERA, 120 innings, 81 strikeouts, and four shutouts, earning MEAC Pitcher of the Year honors. She’s more than the box score: she has shown big-game poise against quality opposition, including a six-inning scoreless outing against No. 17 LSU and a complete-game no-hitter later in the season, signaling real frontline starter potential. If you need a pitcher who can handle volume, miss bats, and rise in pressure spots, she fits.
