The Wilmington University spring student-athletes were once again dominate in this week’s Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Weekly Reports as the Wildcats had Players and Rookies of the Week in baseball, golf and women’s lacrosse.
Golf swept the honors as Andreas Lunding was named the CACC Player of the Week and Joey Russo was named the CACC Rookie of the Week; baseball’s Sam Goines was named the CACC Player of the Week; and women’s lacrosse’s La’Dae Boykin was named the CACC Rookie of the Week on Monday when the conference office released the weekly reports.
Lunding (Horsholm, Denmark) earned medalist honors at the GBC Spring Invite with a 71 (-1), finishing as the lone sub-par score of the round to beat the field by two strokes and lead the Wildcats to a team title. Lunding then came back and finished as the top Division II golfer at the Spring Griffin Invite on Tuesday, finishing second overall with a 72 (+2), one stroke off the leader, but again leading the team to an overall title.
Russo (Sewell, N.J.) also helped the Wildcats’ golf team to a pair of team titles last week, starting the week in a tie for seventh overall at the GBC Spring Invite, shooting a 77 (+5). Russo then came back and finished in a tie for fourth overall at the Spring Griffin Invite on Tuesday, shooting a 75 (+5), four strokes off the leader.
Goines (Wilmington, Del.) led the offensive attack on the baseball diamond as the Wildcats went a perfect 5-0 last week, outscoring their opponents 50-5 in the five games. The senior batted .529 (9-for-17), along with a .619 on-base percentage and a .941 slugging percentage.
