We like our Brew hot n’ fresh. But we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…
🔺 Rewarding Rach. Her collegiate career may be over, but the awards are still pouring in for Mason’s Rachel Warrens.
The Patriots shortstop was named to the NFCA All-Region team this weekend, garnering third team accolades.
On the field this season, the San Diego, Calif., native started in 50 games and slashed a career-high in all three batting categories (AVG / OB% / SLG), going .333 / .389 / .482.
As well as being a part of a dynamic Patriot infield that turned the most double plays in the Atlantic 10 this season, Warrens finished in the top 10 in the conference in multiple individual statistical categories at the end of the regular season. She was top of the conference in assists (129) & triples, second in hits (56) & defensive double plays (21), fifth in stolen bases (17), seventh in total bases (81), eighth in doubles (12) and 10th in runs scored (31).
Within George Mason, she led the team in batting average, slugging, OPS (.871), runs, doubles, triples and stolen bases.
🤔 PATRIOT TRIVIA
Later tonight, Walt Bannerman will look to continue his outstanding sophomore season, fighting for a spot at NCAA Championships in June.
Bannerman has already won gold at both the A-10 Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
Among the 48 participants in the pole vault in Lexington, how many are underclassmen like Bannerman.
