PROVIDENCE, R.I. – After a nearly perfect week at the plate in which she went a combined 8-10 with a run and four RBIs across three games, Castleton softball's Alexandra Brouillette has been named the Little East Conference Rookie of the Week. The freshman is the second Spartan to earn the weekly honor this season, joining Alexis Rogers who won earlier in the year.
 
Brouillette started her week with a perfect 3-3 performance in Game 1 of Castleton's doubleheader against Plymouth State. The freshman led off the second inning with a single before cranking her first collegiate double in the fifth, ending her day with an RBI single to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth en route to the 3-2 win.
 
The Vermont native stayed hot in Game 2, going 3-4 at the plate to lead the Spartans to a sweep over the Panthers. In a relatively high-scoring contest in which Castleton won 8-5, Brouillette was responsible for four total runs, scoring in the second before bringing in runs in the third and fourth innings.
 
The freshman ended her week with a 2-3 showing in a Game 1 win over Rhode Island College. Brouillette registered Castleton's first hit of the afternoon in the fifth inning before hitting an infield single to load the basesin the top of the eighth in a game that the Spartans won in extras.
 
The Spartans return to action Tuesday, April 25 when they take on UMass Boston in LEC action, with first pitch of the doubleheader set for 3 p.m.
