SUWANEE, Ga. – Concordia University (Tex.) outfielder Zach Seigrist and Texas Lutheran University second baseman Cooper Jen were named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week for performances the week of March 10-16.
Seigrist, a graduate student from Beaumont, Texas, made history with the program's first ever cycle in a 15-14 victory over DeSales, including the go-ahead two-RBI triple in the bottom of the eighth. In a week where the Tornadoes went 5-0, Seigrist went 11-24 (.458) with a team-best 14 RBIs to go along with 10 runs, five walks and six extra base hits (three doubles, two homers, one triple).
Jen, a first-year from Kyle, Texas, started all five games at second base last week leading the Bulldogs to a 4-1 record, including a sweep of Dallas in a road SCAC conference series. Jen led the Bulldogs offensively, hitting .381 (8-for-21) with three homers, two doubles, a triple, 12 RBI, and 10 runs scored over the five-game week. Jen's performance was highlighted by hitting for the cycle in game two of the series against Dallas on Saturday.
