Following tremendous performances on the course, diamond, and court this week, four Railsplitter student-athletes have been named this week's Juice Spot Railsplitters of the Week.

Softball pitcher Halle Grace Patton, baseball outfielder Chris Hall, men's volleyball setter John Luers, and men's golfer Ian Taggart have all been named this week's Juice Spot Railsplitters of the Week. In two games against Wingate over the weekend, Patton pitched 8.1 total innings, allowing five hits, zero runs, and zero earned runs, earning a win in the first game and a save in the second game as the Railsplitters swept the Bulldogs. In a road series against the Coker Cobras last weekend, Hall hit for the cycle in the first game of the double-header, going 5-for-5 at the plate. Over the three-game span, Hall added six runs, eight hits, and three RBI. Luers and the men's volleyball program claimed the IVA title over the weekend. He added 113 assists and 19 digs across a three-game championship span, setting a career high in assists in the championship game with 50. He was named to the IVA All-Tournament team and was named the IVA Tournament MVP. Taggart tied for first place in the SAC Tournament, tying with teammate Jamie Dean, shooting -5 as the Railsplitters claimed another conference title.
