Zimniewicz, Lewis, Magrass Honored in Baseball

Albany’s Kirt Zimniewicz (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal/Alfred State) has been named America East Player of the Week for baseball, while Jon Lewis (Queens, N.Y./Francis Lewis) of Stony Brook and Vermont’s Miguel Magrass (West Roxbury, Mass./Salisbury) have been honored as Pitcher of the Week and Rookie of the Week respectively. The awards were announced Monday (May 3).

 

Zimniewicz was 7-for-11 at the plate (.636) during the Great Danes’ three-game weekend series versus Binghamton. The senior second baseman knocked in four runs, including two home runs, and also scored five times against the Bearcats, while extending his team-high 17-game hitting streak with a two-run homer in the first inning of the Great Danes’ 6-5 victory on Sunday. On the week, Zimniewicz hit .643 with a 1.071 slugging percentage.

 

Lewis, Covucci, Fontana Honored in Women's Lacrosse

Lindsay Lewis (Glenelg, Md./Glenelg) of Boston University is the America East Player of the Week, while Cristina Covucci (Concord, Mass./Concord-Carlisle) of New Hampshire and Kate Fontana (East Syracuse, N.Y./East Syracuse-Minoa) of Albany have been named America East Defender and Rookie of the Week respectively. (May 3)

 

Fontana collected three goals, one assist, and five ground balls and also caused five turnovers against Stony Brook. She also two goals and one assist against Boston University.

I believe the lacrosse all-conference teams as well as Player, Rookie and Coach of the year should be announced tomorrow. Anybody have any predictions? I would think that either Merrick Thomson or Frank Resitarits should be Rookie of the Year and that Kate Fontana should have a shot at women's Rookie of the Year. I would think the Binghamton men's coach would have the Coach of the Year locked up.
