May 20, 2024
Good Morning Mason Nation. Plenty of Mason students are already done packing up their apartments and houses around Fairfax.
But for a few Patriots, there’s a little more to pack up after a weekend chocked full of hardware winning efforts.
We’ll recap a busy weekend and much more in today’s Brew! Check it out below!
🚣♂️ Drive Of Five
🥎 Rewarding Rach
⚾️ Senior Salute
⭐ And much, much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Drive Of Five. The weather may not have been pretty, but it didn’t matter for the Mason women’s rowing squad who put together one of their best championship day performances in years.
Highlight the day at Atlantic 10 Championships was the effort from the Patriots’ Varsity 4+ boat, who captured the petite final crown.
"We are excited about our Varsity 4+ boat's work today," head coach Joseph Richards said. "It really shows the depth of the program. Overall, this is our best performance across the board over the last several seasons.
In addition to the petite final crown, Mason brought more hardware home as junior Ava Northen was named to the All A-10 Second Team, marking her first-ever conference accolade.
🔺 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.
🔺 Senior Salute. You always remember your last time lacing them up.
The Mason baseball squad honored those who did exactly that this weekend with their annual Senior Day activities prior to splitting an Atlantic 10 doubleheader with Davidson.
The Patriots recognized Socrates Bardatsos, Connor Dykstra, Chad Gartland, Luke Goodyear, Ben Jones, Avery Mabe, Nick Martins, Kyle Menaker, Brandon Parks, Ryan Peterson, Carsen Pracht, Jordan Smith, South Trimble, Derek Wood and Reece Woody for all their dedication to the program and University.
