Janel Gamache was named the CAA Player of the Week and freshman Kara Hammock was named CAA Pitcher of the Week.

Gamache was extremely productive over the weekend, batting .462 (6-of-13) with three homeruns, one being a walk-off winner against Toledo, and seven RBIs.

Hammock had a sensational collegiate debut, allowing no runs on three hits while striking out nine. She put up another impressive performance the next day, striking out 10 while allowing only two earned runs. Hammock finished the weekend with a 1.0 ERA with 19 strikeouts and most importantly, a 2-0 record.
