Wishner slugged a .375 average in the team's opening week. He went 6-for-16 and led the team with five runs scored and six RBIs. He twice tied a single-game career-high with three RBI. Wishner tallied at least one hit in each of the team's four games, as the Panthers opened up 2-2 to begin the 2024 campaign.

Will Hunter, Saint Anselm (Sr., P - Middleton, Mass.)
In game two of the doubleheader against Saint Michael's, Hunter came on in relief and pitched four no-hit innings where he did not concede any walks or runs. The senior struck out five batters and picked up his first win of the season for the Hawks to help Saint Anselm sweep the Purple Knights.

Fedeli led the Owls to a 3-1 weekend in wins against Staten Island and a doubleheader sweep of Felician. Fedeli hit .353 with a .450 on-base percentage and a .882 slugging percentage after going 6-for-17 with two doubles, two triples, a home runs and seven RBI. In the Owls' 14-4 win against Felician, Fedeli was 3-for-5 with two triples and a home run while driving in five runs and scoring two more. Against STAC, Fedeli was 2-for-5 with two doubles and also pitched the last three innings in relief, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four.

Harry Vargas Segura, Southern N.H. (Jr., OF - Bronx, N.Y.)
Vargas Segura went 6-for-17 (.353) with two home runs, five RBI and seven runs scored during a 3-2 week for SNHU. Vargas Segura, who went 4-for-5 on stole base attempts, drew five walks and slashed .500/.706/1.206. He hit a two-run homer in the opening game of the Myrtle Beach trip, as the Penmen rolled over Felician, 10-3, Thursday, and hit another two-run bomb, as he drove in three and scored three runs in a 20-6 triumph against Staten Island in game one of Saturday's doubleheader.
