Beverly, MA - Endicott College freshman Dan Gomez (East Longmeadow, MA) earned Co-Rookie of the Week honors in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) for the second week in a row. Gomez shares the honor with Curry College's David Vincent.

The Gulls' top catcher batted .417 (5-for-12) with a pair of runs scored and five funs batted in this past week. Gomez is currently second on the team in batting percentage (.408) and RBI's (22), and has 29 hits to date, two doubles, a triple, and four homeruns.

"Dan has turned into one of our most reliable hitters and a very solid defensive catcher," said head coach Larry Hiser. "He does not strike out much and he hits with great power."

Endicott enters CCC tournament play this week as the number two seed behind Curry College. The Gulls' overall record is 22-12, 15-5 in the conference. They host Wentworth today at 6:00 p.m. in the first round of the CCC playoffs.
