The first baseman tallied three combined RBI against Bucknell and Maryland and recorded a three-run home run in Penn State’s 9-0 shutout of the Bison.
It’s been over a year since a Nittany Lion earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors. Ally Kurland was the last to receive the weekly award on April 4, 2022.
Penn State will host its final home series of the regular season against Illinois beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 28, at Beard Field.
