BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin junior pitcher Oliver Van Zant (Westport, Conn.) has been named the New England Small College Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.

Van Zant was dominant in a pair of regional wins last week for the Polar Bears in Florida, as the team boasts a 7-3 record through its first ten games this spring.

Earning two wins in both of his starts down in Florida, Van Zant has allowed no earned runs and given up four hits (.095 opponent average) while striking out 16. He had a complete-game, one-hit shutout of Endicott before tossing six innings of three-hit ball, striking out nine, against Suffolk.

Bowdoin returns to action Monday afternoon with a doubleheader against Chicago.
