RICHMOND, Va. – Spider Baseball's Evan Wilson was named Atlantic 10 Conference Under Armour Baseball Rookie of the Week for a second time this season, the league announced Monday afternoon. His first weekly honor came on March 23.

In the Spiders 10-2 midweek win at James Madison, Wilson hit a two-run home run to right field in the first inning.
He jump started a six-run first inning April 18 against Dayton with a solo home run off the batter's eye in center field before wrapping the scoring up that inning with a two-RBI base hit to right field. As the Spiders cruised to a 16-6 victory, Wilson hit the left side of the batter's eye with another solo home run in the seventh inning.
Wilson again got the Spiders offense going in Sunday's 11-9 win over Dayton with a solo home run to right field in the second inning. He scored on Chris Schaller's three-run home run in the third before collecting an RBI base hit to left center in the fourth inning.
