Sophomore outfielder and HK softball alum Taylor Burger of the Bryant University softball team put together a weekend to remember, earning her first career Northeast Conference and ECAC Player of the Week honors, which were announced by the league on April 27.

Burger was absolutely on fire at the dish over the weekend as she went 7-for-12 (.583) with four homers, a triple, eight RBI, and four runs scored in just four games. On April 25, Burger kick-started Bryant’s offense in Game 1 versus LIU Brooklyn, launching a first inning grand slam over the outfield fence. She then followed it up with another homer in Game 2.

On April 26 against Saint Francis University, Burger kept it rolling with two more homers, one in each game of the doubleheader, to up her season total to a career-high nine. Burger currently leads the NEC in slugging percentage at .747 and ranks second in home runs (9), trailing only teammate Elle Madsen, who has 12.
