Senior Kirstin Strong is the Community Bank/GoBonnies.com Athlete of the Week as she helped spark the Bonnies offense to four wins over the past week.

In the second game of the team's doubleheader against Buffalo (April 15), Strong arrived at the plate with the bases loaded and holding on to a two-run lead. The Victor, N.Y. native smoked a line drive double to right center to clear the bases and seal the Brown and White's 8-3 victory over the Bulls.

Strong continued her hot hitting at the dish the next afternoon in the club's visit to Big 4 rival Niagara. The right fielder put together a 3-for-4 performance at the plate with three more runs batted in to help the Bonnies post their highest run total of the season with a 10-6 win in game one. Strong followed her series opening effort against the Purple Eagles with a third RBI in the nightcap.

A six-game home stand will end Wednesday, April 23 with a doubleheader against Robert Morris at 3:00 p.m.
