CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College freshman CC Cook was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday afternoon. The rookie batted a perfect seven-for-seven from the plate over the weekend to help lead the Eagles to a series sweep of Virginia.

In game one against the Cavaliers, the designated player collected two hits, including one triple, and scored a team-leading three runs. She stole one base and drew one walk. In the following game later that day, Cook picked up three hits, one of which was another three-bagger. The Phoenix, Ariz. native led the team in runs with three on the day. Two more hits by Cook in the series finale helped the freshman earn a slugging percentage of 1.571 and an on base percentage of 1.000 for the weekend.
