Two SUNY Old Westbury were named to the Skyline Conference Weekly Honor Roll in their respective sports, the league announced this week.
Baseball second baseman, senior Eddie Hernandez, claimed a spot on the Skyline Conference Weekly Honor Roll, released by league officials in Monday’s report for games played through March 15.
Hernandez, a native of Freeport, hit .583 (7-12) with one home run, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases in three games to start the 2015 season.
Hernandez opened the season hitting 3-for-7 at the plate in a two-game series against No. 7/15 Kean University (Mar. 8-9). Hernandez produced a 4-for-5 game at the plate to help Old Westbury to a 6-3 win against Stevens Institute of Technology (Mar. 13). Hernandez secured the victory with a three-run home run in the seventh inning to make it a 6-3 game.
Women’s lacrosse freshman attacker Danielle Weir also earned a spot on the conference Women’s Lacrosse Weekly Honor Roll for games played March 9-15.
Weir, a native of North Massapequa, scored her first-career goal with 16:11 left in the second half to spark a 5-0 Panther run against Bard (March 10). Weir registered the game-winning tally with one second to go, leading the Panthers to an 8-7 season-opening win. The win was Old Westbury’s first season-opening victory in the program’s short three-year history.
Weir added a pair of goals and three draw controls in a 21-7 loss against Wilkes (March 13). For the week, Weir scored four goals on seven shots (57.1%) to go along with four draw controls and two ground balls.
