Dawe Named GNAC Player/Rookie of the Week

BOSTON, Mass. – Softball sophomore Tianna Dawe (Lynn, Mass.) has been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Player and Rookie of the Week, it was announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon.

Dawe put together an incredible afternoon in a pair of Emmanuel wins over Dean, batting .714 (5-for-7) with three home runs, six RBI and five runs scored. On top of slugging 2.143 in the GNAC sweeps, the Lynn, Mass. native added two stolen bases and pitched three scoreless innings with seven strikeouts to earn the Game 2 victory, allowing just two hits.

On the year, Dawe has posted a .452 batting average with 14 RBI and four home runs while slugging a GNAC-best 1.032. She's also been phenomenal in the circle compiling a 7-2 pitching record with a 2.46 ERA and 44 K's over 54 innings of work.

Over her collegiate career, the Lynn, Mass. native is 9-5 with a 2.59 ERA with 64 K's over 89+ innings.

The Saints are currently 15-3 on the season and 8-0 in GNAC play. They are currently in the midst of a program-best 14-game winning streak and return to action this Saturday, May 1 when they host Johnson & Wales University in their regular-season finale.
