PEORIA, Ill. -- Junior infielder Luke Mangieri (Peoria, Ill./Dunlap) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week after helping Bradley Baseball to a 2-2 record during the team's spring break trip to Florida.

Mangieri started the week by reaching base safely six times Tuesday night at #19 UCF (4-5, 2 BBs) and rode the hot start to a .727 on-base percentage during Bradley's 4-game week. He finished the week batting .600 (9-15) with six walks and a hit-by-pitch, reaching base safely 16 times in 22 plate appearances. Hitting safely in all four games and drawing at least one walk in all four games, Mangieri reached safely at least three times in all four games. He raised his batting average 78 points in the four games and he is now second on the team with a .355 season average. A sports communication major, Mangieri owns a 3.13 cumulative grade point average.

Each week, a Bradley student-athlete is selected as the COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week. The individual chosen must be at least a sophomore in class standing and boast a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, while displaying a level of athletic excellence.

Mangieri and the Braves will play their 2018 home opener Wednesday, hosting Chicago State in a 6 p.m. game at Dozer Park.
