RICHMOND, Va. – Towson University freshman Brook Miko was named Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Softball Co-Rookie of the Week, league officials announced on Tuesday. She shared the honors with Elon's Hannah Olson.
 
"Brook performed well for us in our opening weekend," Head Coach Lisa Costello said. "Sometimes you see nerves from a rookie in their first chance but she produced throughout. Hopefully she can continue to build on this as the season progresses."
 
Miko started at shortstop in all three of the Tigers' games at the Hampton Inn Invitational this past weekend. She scored four runs, recorded six hits and had seven RBIs over the weekend. She leads the Tigers in hits and RBIs, along with doubles (three) and at-bats (13).
 
In her collegiate debut against Campbell, Miko scored her first career run and went two-for-five at the plate. She added three runs batted in and a stolen base against the Camels.
 
In the win over Youngstown State, Miko tallied three hits in five at-bats. Two of her base knocks were doubles. She played a hand in five of the games nine runs, diving in three and scoring two.
 
Miko had a double and a sacrifice fly in three plate appearances against St. John's. She scored her fourth run of the weekend against the Red Storm.
 
The Tigers (3-0) will look to continue their success at the Pirate Clash Invitational, hosted by East Carolina University this weekend. Towson is scheduled to play East Tennessee State and Marshall on Friday, Feb. 13 beginning at 10 a.m. The Tigers will play Bucknell at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday before wrapping up the tournament with another game against Marshall on Sunday at 2 p.m.
