Athlete of the Week: Mac Routh '12

Due in large part to the efforts of captain Mac Routh '12, the men's swimming and diving team had its best ever-finish at the NESCAC Championships this past weekend. Routh broke three individual school records and was a member of relay teams that broke four more, and on Tuesday, was named an All-NESCAC performer.

Athlete of the Week: Oliver Van Zant '13

With a league-leading 2.28 ERA, the baseball team boasts the most dominant pitching staff in the NESCAC. Leading the way is Oliver Van Zant '13, who is first in the NESCAC in innings pitched, ERA and strikeouts. In two starts last week, Van Zant pitched 13 innings—including one complete game—and allowed no earned runs, striking out 19 batters and letting up only a single walk.

Thanks to the strong play of captain Mark Flibotte '12, the men's lacrosse team built up a five-game winning streak before falling to Bates on Wednesday.

A midfielder from Cohasset, Mass., Flibotte led the Polar Bears to victories over conference rivals Middlebury and Williams last weekend.

After never having scored more than 14 goals in a season in his first three years at Bowdoin, Flibotte scored 14 in just nine days during the recent winning streak. He was named NESCAC Player of the Week for his accomplishments.

Flibotte is leading Bowdoin with 22 points through eight games. His 19 goals are third in the conference.

"Mark had a terrific week, has been playing great, and has been having some terrific success," wrote Head Coach Tom McCabe in an email to the Orient.

Bowdoin will need Flibotte to rebound after he was held scoreless against Bates. The team prepares to face first-ranked Trinity, a team undefeated in the NESCAC, tomorrow.

The sports editor of the Orient chooses the Athlete of the Week based on exemplary performance.
