COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – University of Colorado Colorado Springs senior Brad Madison has been tabbed the Week 4 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Baseball Player of the Week, announced Tuesday afternoon.  Madison earns the second straight weekly conference award for the Mountain Lions as John Hoffman was named the RMAC Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 22.
 
Madison helped UCCS to their first sweep of the season with four wins over the University of Sioux Falls this past weekend.  In the series opener Saturday morning, Madison went 2-for-4 with four runs batted in and one run scored.  He helped the offense explode in both come-from-behind games on Sunday.  In game three of the series and the first game on Sunday, Madison hit his second double of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning and scored a run to bring UCCS with two of the Cougars, 4-2.  He added a single and a stolen base with a run scored in the bottom of the fifth to knot the game at 6-6.  His sac fly RBI in the sixth inning tied the game again at 8-8, as UCCS went on to win, 11-9.  In the series finale, Madison tallied two doubles and hit his first career grand slam at UCCS.  Down 5-0 in the third inning, Madison blasted a four-run shot to put the first runs on the scoreboard for the Mountain Lions.  His second double of the game resulted in a RBI and a run scored in the fifth to boost UCCS' lead to 12-7. 
 
In the four-game series, Madison went 8-for-15 at the plate with a .533 batting average, 10 RBI, five runs, six doubles, one home run, a .529 on-base percentage and a 1.133 slugging percentage.  The Yuba City, Calif. native played two games as the designated hitter, and two games at first and third base.  Defensively, he was flawless with 12 putouts and two assists. As a team, the Mountain Lions poured in 47 runs on 46 hits that included 11 doubles, three triples and six home runs against the Cougars.
 
The Mountain Lions (7-9) will return to action March 10-12 for a four-game series at home against Colorado State University Pueblo.
