White named SoCon Baseball Player of the Week

Western Carolina infielder Tyler White has been named the Southern Conference Player of the Week, for all games March 4-10.

White hit .524 with three home runs and eight RBI in leading the Catamounts to a 3-1 week that included a win over SEC power Georgia and a series win over Davidson.

The senior from Forest City, N.C., started all four games at third base for Western Carolina, also seeing time at first. He had a 1.048 slugging percentage and added a .545 on-base percentage.

In a 12-7 win over Georgia on March 5, White hit a three-run home run to help the Catamounts to their second straight road win over the Bulldogs. White went on to hit .625 against Davidson over the weekend, recording at least three hits in each game as the Catamounts took two of the three contests and won their SoCon opener for the first time since 2009.
