Jo Clair is on fire. After hitting her 10th home run on Tuesday against Wellesley, the freshman catcher was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference's (ECAC) Div. III New England Player of the Week. She also earned NESCAC Player of the Week honors.
In her first 20 games, Clair has 27 RBIs, is batting .427 and is the league leader in homers, total bases (62) and slugging percentage (1.016). Clair's home run total also places her just four shy of the Tufts single-season record set by Courtney Bongiolatti (LA ‘05) in 2005. There are still 17 regular-season contests remaining for Clair to break the record.
The Glastonbury, Conn., native has helped lead the Jumbos to a 12-9 overall record and 3-0 in conference play. They have won eight of their last 10 games and will host Brandeis in a doubleheader on Sunday.
