Hubley, Montgomery garner CAA weekly honors

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Freshman pitcher Katelyn Hubley was named CAA Pitcher of the Week and senior Charlie Montgomery was named CAA Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

Hubley continued her standout freshman campaign with a 2-0 record to lead Campbell to a series victory over Hofstra. The Henrico, Va., native threw two complete games over 12.0 innings, posting a 0.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts. She did not issue a walk or allow an earned run, and surrendered just seven hits, with only one going for extra bases. Of her 160 pitches, Hubley threw 113 strikes. In Sunday's rubber match, Hubley delivered a dominant outing, recording a season-high 11 strikeouts in a complete-game shutout against the CAA North Division leader. She allowed just two singles and did not walk a batter on 96 pitches. Hubley struck out multiple batters in the third, fourth and fifth innings before finishing the game with a pair of punchouts in the seventh, including the final out. The win was the 14th of the season and her fourth shutout of conference action.
The honor marks the fourth CAA weekly award of her career. It is also her second straight Pitcher of the Week selection. Hubley was also named CAA Rookie of the Week on March 31 and earned Co-Rookie of the Week honors on March 3.

Montgomery continued her strong senior season, helping Campbell secure a series win over Hofstra. The senior center fielder slashed .500/.538/.583 across four games last week. She totaled six hits, including one double, with three RBIs and three runs scored. The Lumber Bridge, N.C., native also stole two bases and did not strike out last week.  Montgomery went 3-for-3 at Coastal Carolina, accounting for half of Campbell's hits. She opened the weekend with a 2-for-3 showing in Friday's 10-1 victory against Hofstra, scoring twice, driving in a run and logging a stolen base. Defensively, Montgomery was flawless in center field, recording three putouts, including a highlight reel catch crashing into the wall in right-center to help Campbell secure a two-hit, 2-0 shutout in the rubber match.

Montgomery earns her second Player of the Week honor this season after being named Co-Player of the Week on Feb. 10 following her performance during the Camels' opening weekend.

The awards are the sixth and seventh weekly honors for Campbell this season. Hubley is the first Camel to earn four this season and ties Isabella Smith for the program record for single-season CAA weekly awards. She is also the second player in program history to earn multiple CAA Rookie of the Week honors, joining sophomore Hannah Cornetto. Montgomery is the first player in program history to earn multiple CAA Player of the Week nods.

Drexel freshman Courtney Kols was named CAA Rookie of the Week.
