Young Cougars Feted As CACC Tabs Three Rookies of the Week

The future is bright indeed for Caldwell’s spring sports, and for further validation of the concept, today the CACC honored three Cougars with Rookie of the Week honors in their respective sports, for the week ending March 17.

Freshman midfielder Tiana Cipot (North Brunswick, N.J.) was named CACC Women’s Lacrosse Rookie of the Week, scoring four goals against Chestnut Hill on Tuesday, including the game-winner, and one vs. Georgian Court on Saturday.

Freshman Owen Tarnowski (Roxbury, N.J.) has been named CACC Rookie of the Week. The attackman exploded for seven goals in Caldwell’s CACC-opening victory over Holy Family on Saturday, highlighting a week in which he moved into a tie for sixth in the NCAA with 4.00 goals per game on the season.

And freshman catcher Taylor Quinn (Colonie, N.Y.) was selected the CACC Softball Rookie of the Week. She slashed .375/.444/.469 for the week, including a 3-for-4 game with two runs and two RBI vs. St. Michael’s on Wednesday and 3-for-5 with a run and two RBI vs. New Haven on Thursday at THE Spring Games in Florida. She is hitting .381 on the season with nine RBI and five stolen bases.

It is the first such honor this season for each.
