Congrats to the Rangers of the Week – senior GJ Nazziola of the men's lacrosse team and junior Fran O'Kleasky of the softball team!
 
Also the Landmark Conference Men's Lacrosse Defensive Athlete of the Week, Nazziola won 23-of-29 faceoffs and picked up a career-high 20 ground balls in Drew's 18-7 Landmark Conference victory over Juniata College this past Saturday. He also broke both the Landmark Conference record for career faceoff wins and the Drew record for career ground balls, pushing his career totals to 731 and 424, respectively.
 
O'Kleasky hit .467 (7-for-11) with two doubles, a home run, eight RBIs, and four runs scored in a 2-2 week. In the team's Landmark Conference sweep at Elizabethtown, the shortstop went 5-for-8 with four runs, seven RBIs, two doubles, and a home run. In the opening game versus the Blue Jays, O'Kleasky finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, a homer, five RBIs, and two runs in a 13-1 victory, helping the Rangers stay alive in their quest for a Landmark Conference playoff berth.
 
The Rangers of the Week are nominated and voted on by the Drew Athletics Staff.
