Erik Stock earned BIG EAST Player of the Week honors for the second time this season by hitting .526 (10-19) with 11 runs batted in, 11 runs scored, three home runs and walked four times. The UConn outfielder leads the BIG EAST with a .421 AVG.
Korey Morton and Pat Gallagher earaned BIG EAST weekly honor roll honors with Morton going 11-14 (.786) with five runs scored, seven runs batted in, three doubles and one home run.Â
