BURLINGTON, Vt. - Freshman Kellin Haley (Oceanside, Calif.) of the softball team and sophomore Corey Moylan (Glenview, Ill.) of the baseball team were named the UVM/Sheraton Hotel Student-Athletes of the Week for the period ending May 3.
Haley had a big game in leading the Catamounts to an 8-4 come from
behind victory over Maine in the second contest of a doubleheader on
Saturday. The freshman went 2-for-4 with four runs batted in, including
hitting a triple with the bases loaded and the score tied at 4-4 in the
fourth inning. Haley platted her first run of the day with a single to
left-center in the bottom of the first.
Haley’s four RBI were one more than she had on the season entering the
game. She finished the year second on the team in batting average and third
in runs scored (9), hits (29) and doubles (6). Haley also led the team in
stolen bases as she swiped 10 in 11 attempts on the season. The Catamounts
finished the year 8-38 overall and 4-17 in America East play.
Moylan hit .391 in six games last week scoring eight runs and driving in
eight more. Eight of his nine hits went for extra bases including seven of
Vermont's 24 doubles in the six games. He hit .417 (5-for-12) with four
walks and a .917 slugging percentage in the four-game series with Hartford
connecting on his third homer of the season in Sunday's 14-5 victory in the
second game of a doubleheader.
After a slow start this season, Moylan has hit .351 in conference games to
raise his overall batting average to .269. In all games he also has 10
doubles and has driven in 18 runs after having 8 RBI in limited action as a
freshman.
Vermont (15-28, 7-9 America East) hosts UMBC in doubleheaders Saturday and
Sunday at Centennial Field with both starting at 1 p.m. Admission is free
to all regular season home games.
