BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh senior Rory Dudley has been named Patriot League Player of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon. Dudley hit .400 (6-for-15) over four games for the Mountain Hawks last week, highlighted by a monster senior day effort as Lehigh defeated Boston University 13-10 to claim the series win over the Terriers.
The award is the second of the season for Dudley, who leads the Mountain Hawks with five home runs and 37 RBIs for the season, while batting .310.
Dudley went 3-for-7 with a run scored in Saturday’s doubleheader split with BU and then went 2-for-5 in Sunday’s Senior Day series finale with a three-run double in the third inning and a three-run home run in the fifth. Both hits gave Lehigh the lead, with the home run giving the Mountain Hawks the lead for good.
The six RBIs are a career high for Dudley and also tie the Leadership Park single-game record. They are the most by a Lehigh player in a game at Leadership Park.
Also on Monday, junior Chloe Hess and first-year Kelly Fricker picked up honorable mention recognition from the league.
Hess earned the victory in Lehigh’s 3-2 win in game two on Saturday, allowing two runs on nine hits with three strikeouts in a complete-game effort.
Fricker hit her first career home run to put the Mountain Hawks on the board in that Saturday victory and then went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in Sunday’s series finale. She is now up to a Patriot League-leading 70 hits on the season.
The Mountain Hawks (25-22, 13-5 PL) have three more non-league games before the Patriot League Tournament, May 8-10. Lehigh hosts Villanova in the home finale Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Leadership Park.
