Eddie Santiago, a junior from New London, received his second pitcher of the week honor. He posted a 2-0 record and didn't allow a run, striking out 15 and walking three in 11 innings.

Brody Adams was selected as the rookie of the week after batting .375 with an RBI while filling in as shortstop for injured starter Garet Griffin, the league's leading hitter. He handled all seven chances in the field.

The Mariners have won a season-high nine straight.

Camel highlights

• Connecticut College will host the Silfen Track and Field invitational this weekend in New London. Athletes to watch for the Camels include distance runners Bella Franz and Ashley Curran for the women's team and Ben Bosworth, whose best event is the 800 meters, and Danny Aschale (3,000 steeplechase) for the men's team.

• The women's lacrosse team is holding its annual Green Dot Game on Tuesday when the Camels (1-8) host Amherst at 6:30 p.m.

Here's what senior Blaire Rose said about the event in a release: "Our Green Dot Game is a really important event each year and helps to educate and spread awareness to the rest of the school.

"As one of the few teams on campus with most of its members Green Dot trained, I know we all take pride in representing this message as respected student athletes here at Conn. Educating our generation about sexual assault prevention is a prevalent issue that needs to be discussed.

"As student athletes, we take responsibility in educating ourselves about this subject in order to intervene in red dot situations and use our role as members of the women's lacrosse team here at Conn to positively influence our peers and extended members of the campus community. The first step towards change is awareness."
