Congrats to Andrea Brush's NCAC Player of the Week Honors!



CLEVELAND, Ohio – Three Gators earned North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Player of the Week honors on Monday, capping a huge week of success for the Allegheny athletic program. Baseball sophomore Jacob Shick, softball senior Caitlin Nealer and women's tennis junior Andrea Brush each earned the honor, selected by the conference office on Monday.

Brush went 1-1 in singles and 2-0 in doubles over the weekend, but picked up one of the biggest wins in recent program history, capping an improbable comeback for the Gators with a comeback win at fourth-flight singles, sending the Gators to their first win over Kenyon since the 1984-85 season.

The junior dropped the first set before helping the Gators clinch the win with a 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 triumph. Brush and classmate Mikaela Pope went 2-0 at second-flight doubles, picking up an 8-1 win against No. 25 Denison on April 11th before giving the squad an early, 2-1 lead against the Ladies with an 8-3 decision at second-flight on Sunday.
