NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- After helping lead Christopher Newport to a pair of wins at the D3 Showcase in Greensboro, N.C., junior first baseman Aaron Maxie was named the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday afternoon. Maxie hit .563 and drove in ten for a CNU offense that score 42 runs in three games. 

Maxie collects his first career weekly honor from the Coast-To-Coast and was joined by C2C Pitcher of the Week Cole Williams (Salisbury). 

This weekend, Maxie drove in five runs in back-to-back games to help lift CNU to wins over Marietta College and No. 13 Cortland. In a wild, back-and-forth extra-inning win against Marietta, Maxie obliterated a three-run home run into the towering scoreboard in right field, tying the game at nine runs apiece. His second homer of the season came in the fourth inning and was sandwiched by an RBI single in the second inning and an RBI double in the fifth inning to register a career-high five RBI. 

Then, in a dominant 17-5 win over seven innings against the nationally-ranked Red Dragons, Maxie saw the plate six times and produced in each. He went 5-for-5, setting a career-high with five hits, and smacked three doubles to tie for the second most in CNU history. He drove in five runs again, scored twice, and added a sacrifice fly. 

Over the three-game week, Maxie was 9-for-16 (.563) with a 1.556 OPS. For the season, he is now hitting .483 with a team-high 15 RBI and 24 total bases. The first baseman has 14 hits with four multi-hit games this season.

Christopher Newport improved to 5-1 on the season with a 2-1 effort at the D3 Showcase. The Captains will return to action on Wednesday, February 25 at 2:00 p.m. against Bridgewater College.
