Brendan McCann, Pace (So., P - Plainview, N.Y.)
McCann tossed a complete game shutout Sunday afternoon going seven innings with five strikeouts allowing just three hits. Throughout three appearances, McCann never allowed a run in nine total innings on the mound and totaled seven strikeouts giving up only four hits.

Matthew Rinaldi, Pace (Sr., OF - Scarsdale, N.Y.)
Rinaldi continues to produce at the top of the lineup for Pace. The graduate student batted .421 in the week with a team-high eight base knocks, five of which were extra-base hits.

Elmore leads the team with a .345 batting average, good for 13th overall in the league, as well as on-base percentage (.429) and slugging percentage (.564).

Austin Trumpour, Southern N.H. (So., P - Jensen Beach, Fla.)
Trumpour appeared in both games of Friday's doubleheader sweep at Southern Connecticut, collecting a win and a save, while hurling six scoreless innings, striking out eight and not walking a batter.

He then started game two and fired five shutout frames, allowing three hits, while punching out six in the 7-0 victory.
