Cape Air Athletes of the Week - Ubaldo & Hall/Hopkins-Guerra

The Big Green headed south for competition between winter and spring terms with the sailors training in South Carolina before coming north and scoring a first place finish winning the Vietor Trophy at Coast Guard. The baseball team went to Florida for several games before heading to New Jersey where they went 2-1 against the Princeton Tigers. Sophomore Ubaldo Lopez earned National Player of the Week honors for his play on the trip. Kathryn Hall and Carlota Hopkins-Guerra paired up for two-first place finishes at Coast Guard.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the Week.

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

Ubaldo Lopez, So., Miramar, Fla., OF, Baseball

Sophomore outfielder Ubaldo Lopez got on track at the plate last week by hitting .409 with five doubles, two home runs and 11 RBIs for a slugging percentage of .909 over six games, earning National Player of the Week accolades from Collegiate Baseball as well. He served notice that he had found his swing in the first of those contests, belting a two-run blast and a two-out grand slam in the ninth to account for all six Dartmouth runs in a 6-2 win over Bradley. He then doubled in each of the next two games against the Braves before going 5-for-12 with three doubles, five runs and five RBIs in the series victory at Princeton. His biggest hit was another game-winner with two outs in the ninth, a bases-clearing double to help the Big Green overcome a 6-5 deficit en route to a 10-8 triumph.

Kathryn Hall, So., Haverford, Pa., and Carlota Hopkins-Guerra, Fr., Las Palmas de Gran Ganaria, Sailing

Dartmouth sailing returned to the northeast after spending spring break in South Carolina and did not skip a beat. Sophomore skipper Kathryn Hall and freshman crew Carlota Hopkins-Guerra helped the Big Green to a first place finish at the Vietor Trophy hosted by Coast Guard. Racing in the B Division, Hall and Hopkins-Guerra came in the top five in nine races out of the 12 races including two first-place finishes.
