TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati redshirt junior Ryan Nicholson was named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday.
The first baseman batted .333 (5-for-15) in Cincinnati's three-game sweep of South Florida. He had at least two RBI, reached base at least twice and scored at least one run in all three games.
For the week, he had two homers, one triple, seven RBI and five runs scored.
In Friday's series-opening win, Nicholson went 2-for-6 with a home run and two RBI. He followed up that performance with a 2-for-5 showing on Saturday, recording a triple, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk. He finished the weekend with a home run and three RBI in the series finale.
Nicholson has collected a team-high 11 homers, 11 doubles and two triples in 43 games this season. He now has 28 homers, 27 doubles, 106 RBI and 103 runs scored in his career.
This is Nicholson's first AAC Player of the Week nod, and third AAC weekly accolade after he was named to the honor roll twice earlier this season.
Cincinnati rides a four-game winning streak into an eight-game homestand, beginning with a three-game series against No. 14-ranked ECU on May 5-7 at UC Baseball Stadium.
