Baseball
 
Senior pitcher David Floyd (North Attleboro, Mass.) was named the LEC Pitcher of the Week for the second consecutive week from yet another dominant performance for the Owls in their doubleheader sweep against Eastern Connecticut State University. Floyd helped lead KSC to the first sweep of the Warriors since 2006 from his 7.0 innings on the mound in game one, where he struck out five batters and only allowed four hits enroute to the 9-2 victory to earn the win and move to 3-0 on the season. With his five strikeouts in the contest, Floyd moves to 142 career strikeouts, tying Matt Lavatori (1999-2001) for the seventh most in program history.
 
Senior catcher Evan Cali (Taunton, Mass.) had a great week for the Owls, earning him the LEC Player of the Week from the Owls' 3-1 week of action. Over KSC's 3-1 week, Cali went 8-18 (.444) at the plate with a pair of doubles and two walks as he scored four runs himself and drove in six runs. To go with his five stolen bases on the week, including three stolen bases against the University of Hartford, Cali also threw two runners out on the basepaths, including recording his 50th career runner caught stealing behind the plate in the second game of the Owls' doubleheader sweep over ECSU. In the same game, with his first of two hits, Cali recorded his 150th career hit, becoming the 19th member in program history to reach the milestone and joining his teammate Jonathan Chatfield to reach the mark this season.
 
Floyd, Cali, and the Owls return to action back at home against Vermont State Castleton University on Tuesday, April 21, at 3:00 PM.

Senior midfielder Tess Brown (Londonderry, N.H.) continued to dominate on both sides of the field for the Owls as she was named the LEC Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. Brown increased her program records on the week of action as she caused nine turnovers to go with her 13 ground balls and eight draw controls. Against ECSU, Brown recorded a pair of caused turnovers to go with five ground balls and tied for the game-high six draw controls in the one-goal contest early in the week. Brown and the Owls bounced back at home on Senior Day, defeating Plymouth State University for the first time in 10 years as she caused a game-high seven turnovers and another game-high of eight ground balls to go with two more draw controls for KSC. To go with the chaos that she caused on defense for the Owls, Brown also scored six goals over the two games, with two against the Warriors, and a game-high four goals against the Panthers, including a man-down goal.
 
Sophomore goalkeeper Katelyn Nicotera (Medfield, Mass.) continued to hold strong in goal for the Owls as she was named the LEC Goalkeeper of the Week for the second time on the season.
