CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College softball team moved up one spot to No.

who were ranked fifth in last week's rankings, are 29-11-2 on the season

proceeded to sweep four consecutive doubleheaders, including conference
opponents Nyack College, Felician College and Chestnut Hill College. On
Sunday Caldwell worked overtime to beat American International, winning 2-1
in 12 innings before taking the second game 8-5 in nine innings.
Junior Kyrie Timbrook
(Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos) was named the CACC Co- Player of the Week after
batting .417 with 10 doubles, two home runs and 10 runs batted in. Senior
Gina Capardi (West Caldwell, NJ/Caldwell), pictured, drove in 12 runs on
the week, and junior Danielle Genovese (Livingston, NJ/Livingston)
scored a team-best 14 runs. The pitching also was solid, as sophomore Brittany Pulido
(Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) and freshman Kaitlyn McFarlane (Secaucus,
NJ/Immaculate Conception) each won three games, while sophomore Annie
Forte (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North) went 2-0 with an earned run
