The spring season is not even in full bloom yet, but several freshman are already making a big impact for multiple Rutgers teams. This week three different athletes from three different teams within Rutgers athletics were named Big Ten Freshman of the week in their respective sports. Here is a summary on each honoree, as well as how each team fared this past week.
The Rutgers baseball team opened on the road against a ranked Miami (FL) team and thanks to the relief pitching of freshman Eric Heatter, the Scarlet Knights were victorious in the last of three games this past weekend.
