Last Week’s Stats: .500 AVG (9-for-18), .667 SLG%, .550 OB%, 5 R, 8 RBI, 3 2B, 2 BB, 0 K
Nesci became the first Dolphin this season to claim NEC Player of the Week honors, and in the process, she dethroned Saint Francis U of its four-week stranglehold of the award. A local product from Cicero, NY, Nesci helped Le Moyne go undefeated in five games last week. During that stretch, the outfielder drove in at least one run in each game to finish with eight RBI. Finishing 9-for-19 with a .667 slugging percentage and .500 on-base percentage, she scored five times, walked twice, and most impressively, did not strike out in 18 at-bats. Highlighting Nesci’s week was a 2-for-3 outing in Friday’s nightcap against Mount St. Mary’s. In the 10-6 win, she drove in two runs and crossed home twice to account for nearly half of the Dolphins’ runs. Nesci also had a strong outing in the final game of the weekend against Morgan State. Opening the scoring for the Dolphins with a two-run double in the first frame, she led her squad to a 7-3 win over Morgan State to complete the undefeated weekend. The infielder enters the week, which features the opening weekend of NEC play, as the league’s leader in RBI (15).
