Campbell hit .320 out of the three-hole for the Skyhawks this season, driving in a team leading 30 runs to go with four homeruns, 12 doubles, 26 runs and a .510 slugging percentage.

Last week he was honored with the Father William Gartland award at the Student-Athlete Awards Ceremony, presented annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have achieved excellence on the playing field over the course of their career. The award winners are recognized on the basis of athletic accomplishments, citizenship and character and personality.

Schneider hit cleanup for Stonehill this spring and led the team with a .339 batting average to pair with a team leading .397 on base percentage. The Camarillo, California native hit two homeruns and recorded 27 RBI while scoring 21 runs.

In Stonehill's first ever win over a nationally ranked No. 1 opponent, Schneider drove in the first Skyhawk run of the game and in his next at-bat roped a two-RBI double to left center field, breaking the tie and giving Stonehill the lead they would hold on to for the rest of the game.
