Eric Zurmuehle ’18, Men’s Lacrosse
Zurmuehle had a dominant performance as the face-off specialist for the Continentals, winning 16 of 21 face-offs against St. John Fisher in the regular season finale. Zurmuehle is tied for second place in the NESCAC with 219 face-offs won this season, just six behind the conference leader. Zurmuehle’s performance in the face-off circle allowed the Continentals to control possession for the entirety of the game. The Continentals won the game 10-7 to break a 10 game losing streak.
Ryan Wolfsberg ’17, Baseball
The junior centerfielder continued his tear during a three-game home series against Wesleyan. In Saturday’s 6-4 loss, Wolfsberg went 1-for-3 with two runs and three RBIs, his second-highest single-game total of the year. The next day, Wolfsberg went 3-for-6 at the plate, upping his average to .443 this spring. That average continues to lead all NESCAC batters, and his .670 slugging percentage continues to top the conference as well.
Olivia Gozdz ’16, Softball
The lone senior on the softball team continues to shine as her career comes to a close. Gozdz, the program’s all-time hits leader, extended her record total with an excellent three-game series at Middlebury. Gozdz hit safely and walked at least twice in all three games, upping her on-base average to .470. That mark is easily the highest on the Continentals’ roster, and currently ranks eighth in the NESCAC.
