Hilbert College freshman infielder John Riviere-Vejas earned his second honor this week after earning a spot on the D3baseball Team of the Week list March 23, 2022.

Rivière-Vejas had a monumental week which ended Sunday, March 20th.  The rookie 2B swiped an astonishing nine bases in just four games to put him atop the AMCC with 12 stolen bases for the season. He was equally as impressive at the plate logging nine hits, including a pair of doubles, to finish the week with an impressive .692 batting average and .765 on base percentage over 17 plate appearances.

In addition, the Brooklyn native scored eight runs and drove in two more to lead the Hawks to wins over Geneva and Sage.

Earlier in the week Rivière-Vejas was named the AMCC Player of the Week. Prior to games played Monday, he sat in the top five in the AMCC in batting average (.450), on base percentage (.520) and runs scored (15) in addition to leading the league in stolen bases.
