RICHMOND, Va. - George Mason senior designated hitter Zack Helgeson was named the CAA Baseball Co-Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday.

Helgeson collected his first weekly conference recognition of the season, sharing Player of the Week honors with UNCW senior outfielder Tyler Molinaro. Northeastern's Kevin Ferguson and Towson's Michael Trionfo were named Co-Pitchers of the Week, and UNCW pitcher Jordan Ramsey collected Rookie of the Week accolades.

In a 4-1 week for the Patriots, Helgeson batted .444 (8-18) with six doubles, a home run, four RBI's and four runs scored.

Against Georgetown on Tuesday, Helgeson went 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI's as the Patriots won, 12-8. He followed that performance with his conference-leading ninth home run of the season while going 2-for-4 at the plate in a 5-4 win over George Washington on Wednesday.

In weekend conference play against William and Mary, Helgeson hit two doubles in each of the first two games of the series while also scoring one run. In game one of the Friday doubleheader he went 2-for-3, and then hit 2-for-4 in the nightcap.

This season, Helgeson leads the conference in slugging percentage (.747) and home runs (9) while ranking second in total bases (65), third in RBI's (23) and fourth in doubles (11).

The Patriots return to action on Wednesday, traveling to Rider University for a 3:00 pm affair.
