Queens, NY - Freshman
Angel Iacovetti has been named the CUNYAC/Pepsi Rookie of the Week for the week of April 25 as announced by the conference office. This is the fourth weekly honor for the California native as she was named the Pitcher of the Week three times this season.
Iacovetti was 3-2 on the mound this week with a 0.73 ERA, as the Hawks went 2-2 in CUNYAC and 5-3 overall. A native of Imperial Beach, California, just south of San Diego, Iacovetti has been the Hawks' top pitcher this season, sporting a 10-6 mark and a 1.68 earned run average.
Last week, she won her first three games on the mound; a 5-inning one-hitter against City Tech, followed by an eight-inning defeat of Manhattanville with nine strikeouts in game one of a doubleheader. She then came in relief of game two and didn't yield a hit in 3.2 innings with four K's for win number three.
The freshman closed out the week with a pair of six-inning losses to SUNY Old Westbury and Staten Island, giving up only nine hits, two walks and three earned runs, while recording 14 K's in the process.
