PEORIA, Ill. -- Sophomore pitcher Brooks Gosswein (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week announced Wednesday after making two appearances on the mound during a 5-0 week for Bradley Baseball.

Gosswein totaled 8.1 innings of hitless and scoreless work in his two outings. In Wednesday's 9-6 win against SIU Edwardsville, he came out of the bullpen to retire all four batters he faced, allowing the Braves to rally from an early 5-0 deficit. Gosswein made his regular start Saturday against Robert Morris-Springfield and tossed the first 7.0 innings of Bradley's 8-inning no-hitter. His 11 strikeouts against the Eagles equaled the fifth-best single-game total in program history and were the most by a Bradley pitcher since Joe Bircher fanned 12 Missouri State hitters on April 6, 2012. An accounting major, Gosswein owns a 3.73 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.

Bradley Baseball opens a four-game home stand tonight with a 6 p.m. contest against Iowa at Dozer Park.
