Each week for the remainder of the spring we will honor the seniors from two NE10 baseball programs as our teams of the week for each player's dedication to their program and teammates.
PACE
Coach Hank Manning on his senior class - "Our senior class represents everything that is great about Pace University. They have worked extremely hard in all facets of being a student-athlete, and I am proud of the players and people that they have become. Although we weren't able to finish the journey all together, I know that this group will be a part of our program forever. They have represented Pace baseball with dignity, class and a great respect, and for that, I am extremely appreciative. Our program is better because they were a part of it."

SAINT ANSELM
Coach Jerod Edmondson on his senior class - "I could not have asked for a better group of seniors for my first year as the coach at Saint A's.

I feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to coach this great group of young men."
