UB Spring Sports Duo Win Weekly Conference Honors

New Haven, Conn.-A pair of University of Bridgeport Spring Sports standouts have been recognized by the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with weekly awards from their fine performances in contests that took place from April 24 through 30, 2023.

Baseball's Joe Nemchek (Grad., Trumbull, Conn.) has been named the CACC's Pitcher of the Week, and Tara Dimaio (Fr., Shirley, N.Y.) has been honored as the conference's women's lacrosse Rookie of the Week.

Nemchek worked 6.1 innings of no-hit ball last Monday, as he blanked Alliance on just one hit with 13 strikeouts in a seven-inning complete game.

Dimaio recorded 10 points in two games for the Purple Knights last week, as she scored eight goals and added two assists.  She also had nine draw controls, seven ground ballas and caused three turnovers.

Two other Purple Knights earned spots on the CACC's Honor Roll for their fine play last week in Andrea Basilicato  (Grad., Guilford, Conn.) from women's lacrosse and softball's Gabby Simms (Grad., Phoenixville, Pa.).

Both Nemchek and his teammates and Dimaio and her teammates will be in action on Tuesday, as baseball travels to Goldey-Beacpm for a doubleheader, and women's lacrosse heads to Wilmington (Del.) University to open play in the 2023 CACC Championship Tournament.
