CASTLETON, VT. – Shortstop Soren Pelz-Walsh helped the Spartans to a 2-1 week and subsequently earned North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Week honors on Monday. 

Pelz-Walsh went 3-for-9 from the dish last week, including a 2-for-3 performance in the second Castleton victory over Lyndon St. on Saturday. The freshman registered one of the Spartans' few hits against Amherst on Thursday as well. In two games against the Hornets, Pelz-Walsh totaled three runs scored, a pair of hits, including an RBI double, two walks, three runs scored, and a stolen base. 

Castleton looks to remain in first in the NAC when they face New England College on Tuesday for a doubleheader beginning at 2 pm.
