WASHINGTON – VCU Baseball senior Brandon Eike (Player) and sophomore Brian Curley (Pitcher) both earned Atlantic 10 Weekly award honors following the Rams' perfect weekend at the First Pitch Invitational.
 
Eike slashed .500/.533/1.214 over the weekend, while Curley earned the win in VCU's victory over Western Carolina behind 4.2 scoreless frames. Curley becomes the second Ram named A-10 Pitcher of the Week this season, joining graduate Owen Tappy, who earned the honor for the week of Feb. 19. Eike's Player of the Week honor makes him the first Ram to get the nod since Will Carlone earned the honor for the week of Feb. 21, 2023.
