NEW YORK – Georgetown’s Simon Mathews earned his third Pitcher of the Week honor, second in as many weeks as he once again helped the Hoyas to a win with his fifth complete game of the year. Creighton’s Kevin Connolly was named BIG EAST Player of the Week after a seven-hit week that aided the Bluejays to a series sweep of Villanova.
Of note: Xavier once again boasts two on the honor roll, after moving to second place in the BIG EAST standings at 6-3. Xavier’s weekend sweep of Butler was the first BIG EAST sweep for the Musketeers since April 11-13, 2014 against Villanova.
