Brendan Cumming Named Ivy League Player of the Week
Princeton N.J. — After a record-breaking performance against Towson this weekend, Brendan Cumming was named Ivy League Player of the Week. It marks Cumming’s first Ivy League weekly honor and Princeton’s third this season—with Nadir Lewis picking up Player of the Week last weekend and Jackson Emus named Pitcher of the Week for the week of March 7.
In Princeton’s 2-2 series split against Towson, Cumming posted a .545/.583/1.091 slash line with 12 hits, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles, and three home runs. In the Tigers’ 21-8 game-three victory, Cumming set a single-game program record with nine RBI, surpassing Zack Belski’s previous record of eight against Brown in 2016.
Cumming now ranks third on the team with a .382 batting average and second with 17 RBI. He will look to stay hot as Princeton turns its attention to Ivy League play with the concurrent conference and home opener on the docket for Saturday against Yale.
