Malone’s Kathryn Bzdafka, Cami Urdea Receive NCCAA Student Athlete Of The Week Recognition

Two Malone athletes, representing two different spring sports, were recently selected as the National Christian College Athletic Association’s Student Athletes of the Week following their impressive performances during the week of April 2nd through April 8th, 2007.
 
Junior shortstop/starting pitcher Kathryn Bzdafka of Avon Lake, Ohio (Avon Lake H.S.) earned the softball award after tossing seven strong innings in Malone’s 1-0 loss to Geneva (PA) College last Tuesday.  Bzdafka suffered the tough defeat despite allowing just one run on five hits over seven innings pitched.
 
Junior Cami Urdea of Brasov, Romania claimed the women’s tennis honor after she led Malone to a 6-3 win over Geneva (PA) College last Monday by recording a 6-0, 6-0 straight set win from the #2 singles position.  Urdea also contributed in doubles play, as she and teammate Ann Marie Burton (So., Wadsworth H.S.) combined at the #1 doubles position to claim an 8-2 victory.
