Noble Second Bruin to Appear in D-I Game

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — With a pinch-running appearance in the fifth inning of today's Indiana-Michigan State softball game, 2009 Bethany graduate Chelsea Noble became the second Bruin to appear in an NCAA Division I sporting event. Noble replaced Sara Olson as the designated player after Olson was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning; she scored on a grand slam by the Hoosiers' next batter, Cassie Gogreve. While Olson remained in the game as the pitcher, Noble would have hit second in the bottom of the seventh inning; however, the hosting Hoosiers led 6-4 on the Gogreve blast, making the final half-inning unnecessary.

Noble follows partially in the postsecondary footsteps of Jennifer Mortrud, who also continued her softball career at the Division I level after graduating from Bethany in 1994; however, Mortrud did so at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. Western will also be the destination of the third Bruin to go D-I as Jesse Ramer is set to join their men's soccer team this fall.

Bleeding Bruin Blue Athletes of the Week, March 21-27, March 28-April 3

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK


The Bleeding Bruin Blue Athletes of the Week for March 21-April 3 are as follows:
  • March 21-27: Leanne Hochstetler
  • March 28-April 3: Ben Bontreger
Eligibility: Literally all Bruins in a position to win any athletic letter (varsity, JV or freshman) during the current season, or middle school counterparts thereof are eligible. The only exceptions are recent winners: therefore, Hochstetler, Bontreger, and the non-existent winner from this week will be ineligible for the April 11-17 award.

Next Week: The next AOW will be named sometime after Sunday, April 18, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time; athletes can be nominated until the decision is made. To nominate someone, send an e-mail to senorloco1908@gmail.com and put "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" in the subject line. The body of the message can be used for whatever you want. The three simple things that will disqualify a message are:
  1. A subject line that reads "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" without actually naming an athlete.
  2. Anyone nominating multiple people will have only the last nomination counted.
  3. SeƱor Loco reserves the right to ignore e-mails with unnecessarily vulgar sections.
