WASHINGTON – The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Davidson junior Anthony Torreso its Under Armour Baseball Player of the Week.

A catcher from Stratford, Conn., Toresso also drew five walks and had a stolen base. He hit homers versus Rhody Saturday and added a grand slam on Sunday, part of a six-RBI final day performance.
 
Cherico threw his second complete game shutout of the season on Friday at Fordham. Cherico allowed just five hits in nine innings with only one extra base hit.

He had one hit and walked twice in Sunday’s finale, scoring three runs in the final game.
