On Wednesday at Gardner-Webb, the New Market, Md. native collected a career-high 11 draw controls to go along with three caused turnovers and two ground balls in a 20-16 win. On Saturday against Longwood, Fitzgerald tacked on four caused turnovers with five ground balls and an assist in an 18-10 Big South victory.
