Sendelsky Named CC Hitter of the Week
Swarthmore, PA- Swarthmore College infielder Christine Sendelsky ( Edison, NJ - John P. Stevens) has been named the Centennial Conference Hitter of the Week for the week of Mar. 12.
Sendelsky, a freshman, made a huge splash in her first six collegiate games as the Garnet competed at the 2006 SmashHit Spring Break Tournament in Savannah, Ga. Sendelsky led the Garnet in batting average (.476, 10 for 21), slugging percentage (.762), hits (10), runs (six), doubles (four), and total bases (16). In Swarthmore's sweep of a double header with Division I Savannah State on Mar. 9, Sendelsky went 5-for-7 with four runs scored and five RBI.
Sendelsky is the second Swarthmore freshman in 2005-06 to earn Centennial Player of the Week honors after the first week of competition. Jennifer Wang, an outside hitter on the Garnet volleyball team, earned the honor on Sept. 9, 2005.
Swarthmore completed the spring break trip with a 3-3 record, the first time the team has a .500 winning percentage since 1991.
