The following CCC student-athletes have been recognized as Red Lion Players of the Week for their performances during the period Mar. 7-13.
Alex Webb
Baseball – Pitcher
University of British Columbia’s Alex Webb has been named the Red Lion Baseball Pitcher of the Week.
Webb, a senior from Surrey, B.C., was phenomenal in leading his UBC Thunderbirds to a 12-1 victory over the Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) Warriors, the NAIA's top-ranked team, on March 11 in Vancouver. He threw all seven innings in a contest that was concluded early because of the 10-run rule.
