The Colonial States Athletic Conference has named Neumann University senior Derrek Etsell (Philadelphia, PA/Northeast Catholic) its baseball Player of the Week for the week ending March 18, 2012.  Etsell led Neumann to a 5-4 win over #21 Misericordia, hitting a pair of homers and driving in three of the Knights’ five runs.  He hit his first blast in the bottom of the first to give Neumann a 2-0 lead, and then in the eighth, with the Knights trailing 4-3, he tied the game with a solo shot to right center field.  Neumann would go on to score a walk-off run in the tenth inning for its second win over a top-25 team in 10 days.
