Zielinksi became the third different Red Flash freshman to garner NEC Rookie of the Week honors, joining fellow classmates AB Cipalla and Addie Smith, who took home the distinction on Feb. 11 and Feb. 25, respectively. The Arizona native posted a .333 batting average during five games as part of the FIU Classic and slugged .750 after she sent three of her four hits for extra bases. During that stretch, Zielinski, who homered once and doubled twice, scored two runs and drove in two more for the Red Flash, who went 2-3 with a Friday sweep of Toledo (2-1) and Eastern Illinois (6-5). On the season, the utility player has two doubles, two home runs, four RBI and six runs.
