West Long Branch, NJ - Monmouth swept the Northeast Conference bowing awards for the second week in a row. This time, freshman Kailyn Bloch claimed both the Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors.

Bloch spearheaded the Hawks' first-place finish at the two-day Griffin Baker Classic in South Jersey. The rookie right-hander averaged a team-high 22.28 pins per frame over nine matches. Powering Monmouth to a 6-3 showing that ended with a seven-game baker win over rival Fairleigh Dickinson, Bloch threw 56 strikes in 94 attempts (.596) while proceeding to fill frames at a 92.6 percent clip.  Her first-ball attempts yielded an average of 9.14 pins per shot.

It's the third time this season that Bloch has nabbed the NEC Rookie of the Week award.

In addition to Bloch, sophomore Morgan Davis and junior Desiré Villalobos earned NEC Prime Performer status for their efforts at the Griffin Classic.

Accounting for a 20.28 frame average, Davis posted Monmouth's second-highest total pinfall at the Griffin Baker Classic. The sophomore averaged 9.10 pins per first ball and filled 85.6 percent of frames completed. She threw 43 strikes in 90 attempts (.478).

Villalobos averaged 19.71 pins per frame and registered a 9+ on a team-high 76.7 percent of first-ball attempts over the course of nine matches. En-route to an .849 filled frames percentage, the Mexican National Team member fired 41 strikes in 86 attempts (.477).

Last week, graduate student Jenna Lehrer (Player) and freshman Grace Kraemer (Rookie) earned the NEC spotlight on the heels of the Wagner Invite.
