EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern has named freshman Jake Goebbert (Hampshire, Ill./Hampshire) of baseball and women's swimming's 800 freestyle relay team its Hilton Garden Inn Athletes of the Week.
Gobbert singled in his first collegiate at-bat opened the season 7-for-14, including a pair of doubles. He scored three runs and knocked in two RBI over the 'Cats' first three games.
Goebbert had at least two hits and scored one run in all three of the Wildcats' games at the Red Raider Classic in Lubbock, Texas. This is the first Hilton Garden Inn Athlete of the Week honor of Goebbert's career.
Northwestern's 800 free relay comprised of Andrea Hupman (Lawrenceville, Ga./Brookwood), Emily Wong (Nepean, Ontario/St. Joseph's), Jenn Kocsis (Omaha, Neb./Marian) and Kassia Shishkoff (Raleigh, N.C./St. David's School) took second place at the Big Ten Championships, breaking a 13-year-old school record with its NCAA 'B' provisional qualification time of 7:13.92.
