Junior pitcher Cassidi Hardy and freshman 3B Brooke Hudson earned America East Player of the Week accolades Monday afternoon. Hardy was named the league’s Pitcher of the Week and Hudson was named the Rookie of the Week. This is the second award for Hardy this season, as she was named Pitcher of the Week on Mar. 25, while it is the first honor for Hudson.

Hardy was dominant this weekend, earning a win in a start against Maine on Wednesday and a no decision in a start against UMBC on Friday She went 1-0 with a 0.62 ERA and allowed just eight hits in 11.1 IP, while striking out 13. Against the Black Bears, Hardy tossed six shutout innings before allowing an unearned run in the seventh in a 2-1 BU win. She walked five and struck out five in the complete game effort. Against a heavy-hitting UMBC lineup in Friday, she allowed one run on four hits in 4.2 innings. She fanned eight and walked only two. She earned a no-decision, as the Retrievers rallied for a 5-3 victory once she departed. Hardy leads Boston U. with 10 wins and 132.0 IP on the season.

Hudson had her best week as a Terrier, going 8-14 (.571) and raising her average from .228 to .280 on the season. She drove in seven runs and hit a pair of home runs. She went 1-4 with a run scored in a doubleheader split against Maine on Wednesday, and was 1-3 with a run scored in the first game of a series at UMBC on Friday. In games two and three of the series, however, she exploded. Hudson went 4-4 in game two, including a grand slam. It was her first career home run at any level and established a career-high for hits and RBI in a game (4). In game three on Saturday, she went 2-3 with a home run and three RBI, helping the Terriers earn their lone win of the weekend against the Retrievers. She had a 1.071 slugging percentage in five games last week.

BU returns to action Tuesday when it visits Connecticut. Game time is 4 p.m.
