MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Senior outfielder Andrew Waters of No. 4 Trinity University has been named to this week's D3baseball.com Team of the Week.

Players are selected from nominations from their school's sports information directors and/or conference offices. This is the third Team of the Week of the 2016 season.
Waters, also tabbed SCAC Offensive Player of the Week, led Trinity to a 4-0 overall week that finished with a three-game sweep of Austin on Friday and Saturday. Waters hit a blistering .833 (10-for-12) in the three games against Austin, collecting four doubles, two triples, and two home runs among his 10 hits. He also scored six runs and added eight RBI, posting a 2.000 slugging percentage for the weekend.
