4-18-06
CALDWELL, N.J. - Caldwell College junior Anna Dahl (Lindenwold, NJ/Camden Catholic) was chosen the ECAC Division II Player of the Week for the week ending Apr. 16, the organization announced today. Dahl, who was selected the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference's Player of the Week and co-Pitcher of the Week yesterday, went 3-0 with an earned run average of 0.37 while batting .632 with two home runs and five RBIs.

Dahl helped the Cougars go 7-1 last week, pitching three complete-game victories while yielding just one earned run and seven hits in 19.0 innings of work. After giving up a combined three runs and five hits in CACC wins over Bloomfield College and Wilmington College, Dahl capped the week with a two-hit shutout of Dowling College on Thursday. She totaled 14 strikeouts for the week.

At the plate, Dahl went 3 for 4 in the win at Bloomfield, then homered in the victory against Wilmington. She also hit a home run and a double in the Cougars' 8-0 win over Philadelphia University on Wednesday. After going 12 of 19 for the week, Dahl raised her batting average on the season 143 points to .265. 

Dahl becomes the second Cougar softball player to receive the ECAC's weekly award, following senior Katie Jackson (Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville), who was the Player of the Week on May 10, 2005.

Dahl and the Cougars return to action today with a CACC doubleheader at Goldey-Beacom College. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m. in Wilmington, Del.
