Player of the Week
Jeffrey Gutierrez | SUNY Cobleskill | Senior | Shortstop | Bronx, N.Y.
 
Jeffrey Gutierrez had a monster week for the Tigers, recording multi-hit performances in all five games for Cobleskill. On the week, Gutierrez went 11-for-22 (.500), scoring eight runs and driving in three. He also drew two walks and went 5-for-6 on stolen base attempts. His efforts helped power the Tigers to a 4-1 record, including a key win over regional power Keystone College, and a 3-1 weekend in NAC play against Thomas to remain atop the conference standings.
 
Pitcher of the Week
Kyle Delano | Thomas College | Junior | Pitcher | Sabattus, Maine
 
Delano appeared in two games this week for the Terriers, both wins for the team. On Wednesday Delano pitched the final inning against UMF, striking out one batter and only allowing a single hit to help the Terriers close out a crucial 8-3 conference win. On Sunday Delano earned a start on the mound, dominating against top-seeded SUNY Cobleskill. Delano pitched all seven innings, only allowing three hits while striking out seven batters to help the team to a dominant 6-1 win. Delano also earned his 100th career strikeout in the win, an impressive accomplishment to go along with a huge win.
 
Rookie of the Week
Preston Libby | Husson University | First-Year | Infielder | Derry, N.H.
 
Libby put together a great week at the plate for Husson in a 5-1 week for the Eagles. Libby took off after struggling in a midweek matchup against Bowdoin, as the first-year slugger shook off an 0-4 performance against the Polar Bears with a 7-16 showing over the course of a four-game series with UMaine Farmington over the weekend. Libby recorded two triples, drove in five runs and scored three times during the series, as the biggest moment came in the bottom of the seventh inning of Sunday's series finale, as Libby came up with the bases loaded and one out for Husson and ripped a ball into the right-center field gap and cleared the bases, allowing the Eagles to tie the contest up at five, before they walked it off the next inning to complete the series sweep.
