Weekly Awards
This week’s Waynesburg University athletes showed dominating performances on the diamond and on the lacrosse field.
Waynesburg women’s lacrosse player junior Makayla Vidosh and baseball pitcher Brian Resnik were named Waynesburg University’s athletes of the week.
Vidosh, a native of Galloway, Ohio, tallied 13 goals for the Jackets in three games last week. To highlight her week,
Vidosh netted a school-record 10 goals against Franciscan
University back on March 25. The junior midfielder also added an assist in both games for the Jackets this week. Vidosh is the second lacrosse player in as many weeks to receive the award.
The Waynesburg lacrosse team is scheduled to play Hanover College at John F. Wiley Stadium at noon Saturday, and they will host a rare doubleheader next Wednesday against St. Vincent. Those games will be at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively.
Resnik, who calls Burgettstown, Pennsylvania home, was masterful on the mound in two starts this past week. In 14 innings of work last week, Resnik did not give up a run, while surrendering five hits, walking three and striking out 13. That work earned him a pair of victories against Grove City and Geneva.
So far this season, the junior pitcher has made five appearances, winning in three of those outings. During those outings, Resnik is averaging six strikeouts a game with an earned run average slightly under three, he has been the mainstay in a limited rotation.
The baseball team will play six times in the next week, with the weather permitting. The Jackets will will host Thiel today at 4 p.m. and on Saturday, the Jackets will travel to Greenville, Pennsylvania to play the Tomcats two more times.
