Northeast Credit Union Athletes of the Week

Women's Tennis is headed to the NCAA tournament, while baseball heads to the Ivy Championship Series, hoping for a spot in the NCAA tournament. Helping these post-season dreams come true are a couple of newcomers to the Big Green. Freshman Kyle Holbrook hit .500 in a four-game sweep of Harvard by the baseball team this past weekend, while classmate Julia Schroeder clinched the women's tennis victory over Harvard with a win at number 5 singles.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named the Northeast Credit Union Athletes of the Week.

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as the Northeast Credit Union Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.

Kyle Holbrook, Fr., Broomfield, Colo., OF/C, Baseball

Selected as the Ivy League Rookie of the week, freshman Kyle Holbrook hit .500 (7-for-14) in the four-game sweep of the Crimson, scoring five runs and driving in six. He set the tone in the opener, going 2-for-2 with three runs and three RBIs which came on his first career home run in an 8-1 victory. The next game, Holbrook provided a pair of singles, scoring a run and driving in another during a four-run outburst in the seventh to help the Big Green rally for a 4-3 triumph. At Harvard on Sunday, he once again went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI, scoring one of the two runs in extra innings to lift Dartmouth to a 6-4 win. Finally, he delivered an RBI single and walked as the Green cruised to a 7-2 victory and the series sweep. Holbrook has found his stroke in the second half of the season. After hitting just .102 over his first 18 contests, he has hit .368 over his last 19 to raise his average 131 points.

Julia Schroeder, Fr., Winnetka, Ill., Women's Tennis

Following Dartmouth's 5-2 victory over Harvard on Saturday, the Big Green wrapped up conference play by finishing in second place in the Ivy League. Julia Schroeder clinched the win for Dartmouth at No. 5 singles, defeating Amanda Lin, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. She and Alexxis Kiven were also leading Lin and June Lee, 6-4, at No. 3 doubles when the match went unfinished. The Big Green will be heading to post-season play next weekend, taking on William & Mary.
