COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's announced Wednesday that MSU Denver swept the league's weekly baseball awards, as Zach Schuler has been named Player of the Week and Reichle Arcilise earned Pitcher of the Week.
 
Schuler, who played first base and was the designated hitter last weekend, had an RMAC-leading nine RBIs and shared the league lead (with teammate Ross Smith) with two homers in the Roadrunners' three-game sweep of Northwestern Oklahoma State. For the week, Schuler was also tied for first among RMAC players in doubles (three), ranked athird in slugging percentage (1.154) and was third in OPS (1.654). He batted .462 (6-for-13). He hit a two-run homer on opening day to put MSU Denver ahead to stay in the fourth inning, went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs on Saturday, then doubled and homered – a three-run shot to give the Roadrunners a 5-1 lead -- while driving in four on Sunday.
 
It's Schuler's second career RMAC Player of the Week honor.
 
Arcilise, the 2021 RMAC Co-Freshman Pitcher of the Year, pitching for the first time since last April, made two dominant relief outings, striking out six of the seven batters he faced (the other batter popped out to second base) while earning one win and one hold. On opening day, Arcilise pitched the fifth and sixth innings and earned the win, striking out five of six. On Sunday, with the bases loaded to bring the tying run to the plate in the eighth, Arcilise was summoned from the bullpen and carved up the hitter with a three-pitch strikeout to end the threat. For his career, Arcilise is 9-5 with a 3.36 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 83.0 innings.
 
It's the second time that Arcilise has been named RMAC Pitcher of the Week.
