Longwood University Athletics

Farmville, Va.- A stellar week by Gregory Ryan earns him his first player of the week honors for the Big South.

Ryan finished the week batting .438 (7-16), which included two home runs, a triple and six RBI's. The North Chesterfield, Va. native's productive week has pushed his hitting streak to a total of 11 games, and he has four home runs in the last two weeks. A dangerous runner, Ryan crossed home himself seven times this week. Ryan's best performance was against Norfolk State when he went 2-3 with a home run and three RBI's. Ryan also crossed home three times that day.

Longwood won three out of four for the second consecutive week, and the offense remains to be scorching hot. The team scored 55 runs alone this week, including a 24-1 win on Tuesday against the Norfolk State Spartans. 

The Lancers travel to VCU tomorrow for a single game midweek showdown, before traveling to Greensboro, North Carolina for a weekend series against Big South foe, North Carolina A&T.
