LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Eastern Connecticut State University right-hander Morgan Bolduk and Husson University utility player Arika Brochu claimed the final Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III National Pitcher and Player of the Week honors of the season on Wednesday.

Sophomore Bolduk pitched four straight shutouts, including three one-hitters and a two-hitter — all in Little East Conference tournament play — as the Warriors won their fifth title in 10 years and secured their 21st NCAA berth in school history.  For the four games, the Vernon, Conn., native allowed three walks and struck out 22. Bolduk also helped herself at the plate, with a homer and three runs batted in in the title game against UMass-Boston.

Brochu, meanwhile, hit .625 with seven runs, two doubles, a homer and two RBI, to help propel Husson to a second-straight North Atlantic Conference tournament title. The Augusta, Maine, product also tossed 11 innings in the circle, going 1-0 and fanning nine batters.
