FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 11 - 17

	PLAYER OF THE WEEK *Sean Jefferson, Albertus Magnus* (Jr., UTL/P - West Haven, Conn.) - Jefferson had a fantastic week for the Falcons, posting a 1.875 OPS. He was 6-for-12 with six RBI, three runs, two home runs, a triple, and a double. The junior logged a .500/.625 /1.250 slash line to help Albertus post a 3-2 record, which included three important conference victories. The highlight of Jefferson's week came in AMC's opener against Rivier, when he hit two solo home runs in the Falcons' 16-2 home win.
	PITCHER OF THE WEEK *Samuel Jalbert, Saint Joseph's (Maine)* (2023, RHP - Mascouche, Que.) - Jalbert out-dueled NCBWA Rookie of the Week Nick Choate to help the Monks defeat Anna Maria, 3-1, in the opener of a huge two-game set versus the AMCATS on Friday. The junior right-hander allowed one hit through four frames and finished the game having allowed one run on four hits with five strikeouts over five innings facing a lineup that ranked in the top-five nationally in batting average.
	ROOKIE OF THE WEEK *Nick Choate, Anna Maria* (Fr., RHP/INF - Grafton, Mass.) - The reigning GNAC Pitcher/Rookie of the Week struck out nine in 5.0 innings of work in a 3-1 road loss to Saint Joseph's of Maine last Friday, allowing just one run on hour hits with four walks. It marked the first earned run the freshman has surrendered since March 23, and at press time, Choate was leading the GNAC in strikeouts (43) and K/9 (14.70).
