WILL CATES OF SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, a senior outfielder from Houston, Texas, has been named the SCAC Baseball Offensive Co-Player of the Week for games played Monday, March 21st through Sunday, March 27th.

Cates helped Southwestern to a series victory over Schreiner this past weekend. The senior center fielder hit .571 with three doubles, one triple, a homer and four RBIs. His 16 total bases translated to a 1.143 slugging percentage and he reached base at a .647 clip. Additionally, Cates was 5-for-5 in stolen bases, scored four times and was intentionally walked twice.

The Houston native finished a home run away from the cycle in Saturday's opening game of the doubleheader. He also stole four bases in the contest. In his first at-bat of the series finale, Cates led off the game with his first home run of the campaign to jump start the Pirates.
