CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. – The East Coast Conference announced its weekly baseball award winners Monday afternoon, and for the second straight week, a member of the Queens College Knights has been tabbed as the conference's Rookie of the Week. Freshman right-handed pitcher, Matthew Cascello was tabbed for accolades, sharing the honor with Carlos Guzman from Molloy.

Cascello fired a complete-game, two-hit shutout against Mercy in the front end of Saturday's twinbill, facing just three hitters over the minimum and striking out four Mavericks. Just one runner reached second base, as Mercy hit .083 against the right-hander – who picked up his first collegiate shutout (and the Knights' first of the campaign).

Last week, Cascello's teammate, Robert Gaertner received Rookie of the Week praise from the ECC.
