Rubin, Castigliego Secure First GNAC Weekly Honors of the Year

WINTHROP, Mass. – Junior Jordyn Rubin and senior right-hander Maddie Castigliego were named Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Pitcher and Player of Week announced Monday afternoon.

Posting an .800 batting average (4-5) with a 1.833 OPS (1.000 SLG%, .833 OBP), Rubin guided Simmons to a 1-1 week which included going 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI in a 15-4 victory over regional foe Gordon College to open the season. In the Sharks second game of the season, Rubin came off the bench and went 1-for-2 against Concordia Chicago.

Castigliego earned her first victory of the season following a convincing 15-4 victory over Gordon to begin the season. Against the Fighting Scots, she tossed five complete innings allowing four unearned runs while striking out five opposing batters.

Simmons returns to the Florida diamond for a pair of games tomorrow morning, March 7. First pitch against Roanoke will be at 11:30 a.m.
