Nikki Thompson (West Seneca, N.Y./John F. Kennedy) of Hartford has been named the America East Player of the Week, while Albany’s Andee Lindgren (La Habra, Calif./Sonora) has been chosen Pitcher of the Week and Margaret Blair (Lake Peekskill, N.Y./Walter Panas) of Stony Brook is the Rookie of the Week (April 26).
Thompson led the Hawks to a 5-2 record this week after collecting 11 hits, including three home runs, and driving in seven runs. She had a .952 slugging percentage and was also solid in the field, committing no errors in 24 chances.
This week Lindgren continued to dominate opposing hitters, picking up two complete game wins against Maine, including a 2-0 shutout on Sunday. She allowed only one earned run in 14 innings, while striking out 13 for the Great Danes this week.
Blair collected five hits in 12 at bats, while scoring three runs and driving in two more for the Seawolves. In the series finale against Boston University, she belted a home run and later doubled and scored the game-winning run in the eighth inning.
