AUSTIN, Texas — For the second time in the last three weeks, University of Texas standout Dylan Volantis was tabbed Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.

Volantis also garnered weekly conference distinction on March 24.

The 6-foot-6, 212-pound hurler appeared twice, earning a save and win against No. 3 Georgia to help the Longhorns secure their first sweep over a top-3 team in more than six years.

Across his two outings, Volantis notched nine strikeouts over 5 1/3 scoreless innings against college baseball's second-most prolific offense.
