The Richards Group Athletes of the Week - Cmeyla, Hopkins-Guerra & Hawkins

A sweep and a regional title were the result of hard work by this week's athletes of the week. On the water Carlota Hopkins Guerra and Maddie Hopkins sailed to the NEISA Women's Championship on Harpswell Sound. The win clinched their qualification to the Women's Fleet Race National Championship in May. Back on campus, sophomore Nathan Cmeyla was shutting down Ivy rival Princeton on the baseball diamond. Cmeyla caught every inning in a three-game sweep of the Tigers.

Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group Athletes of the week.

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

Nathan Cmeyla, So., Ashburn, Va., C, Baseball

Sophomore Nathan Cmeyla caught every inning during the three-game sweep of Princeton over the weekend, going 2-for-4 in each contest. In the opener, he had a pair of singles and scored a run in the 6-2 win, then ripped a single and a triple, driving in a run in the 11-6 triumph on Saturday. He saved his best for last, launching a solo home run and legging out another three-bagger, plus reached on a base on balls to help the Big Green outlast the Tigers in a 16-7 victory. Earlier in the week, he even came off the bench to stroke a single and score a run in a 12-5 win at Albany. For the week, Cmeyla hit a team-high .538 (7-for-13) with two triples and his long ball for a slugging percentage of 1.077, scoring three times and driving in two while providing excellent defense behind the plate.
