DURHAM, N.C. – Softball senior Jameson Kavel and men's lacrosse graduate student Michael Sowers have been selected Duke's PNC Achiever's Student-Athletes of the Week after their grand performances led the Blue Devils to victories this past week.Â
Putting together a 6-for-15 performance with two home runs and seven RBIs, Kavel led the Blue Devils to a series sweep over North Carolina, including the first series win in program history against the Tar Heels, this past weekend. She tallied two multi-hit games in the series, including a 3-for-4 day on Sunday with three RBIs.
Â
The Duluth, Ga., native came in clutch for the Blue Devils, hitting a two-run walk-off single to secure a 4-3 victory in game one and blasting a two-run home run to knot the game at 2-2 in the series finale.Â
Â
Duke softball's (34-10) next game is a midweek contest against Campbell (20-13) on Wednesday, May 5, at 6 p.m.Â
Sowers led the Blue Devils to a 13-12 overtime win over No.2 Notre Dame on Thursday, April 22.Â
Â
The Dresher, Pa., native spearheaded Duke's incredible overtime comeback win over No. 2 Notre Dame with four goals and an assist for five points. Sowers scored the team's final two goals in a span of 20 seconds to tie the game and force overtime.Â
Â
The Tewaaraton nominee dished out the assist for the game winner in overtime. Sowers registered three of his four goals in the second half as Duke trailed, 7-3, after the first half. It was Sowers' eighth outing with at least five points and his seventh hat trick. He is the leading scorer on the team with 60 points.
Â
Duke men's lacrosse (12-1) will travel to Chapel Hill Sunday, May 2, where it will take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (10-2) at 4 p.m.Â
