CCC Player of the Week: Elizabeth Lombardo

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) has selected Salve Regina University junior Elizabeth Lombardo (Thomaston, Conn.) as its Player of the Week for softball (April 2- 8).

Player of the Week - Lombardo had an outstanding week at the plate and in the infield. In six games at the plate, she went a combined 10-for-20 (.500) hitting. While showing off her extra-base power by hitting three doubles and one homerun to account for seven runs batted in. In a game against the University of New England, she scored the game-tying run in the sixth, drove in the game-tying runs in the seventh, and scored the game-winning run on a walk-off double by teammate Amanda Riley (Barrington, N.H.). On the week her fielding was flawless. She had 14 total chances and was errorless with them, finishing with a fielding percentage of 1.000.

"Liz has been solid for us all season. She is serving dual roles at third and behind the plate, and emerged into one of our most dangerous hitters in our lineup." - Seahawk head coach Jannelle Iaquinto
