HUNTSVILLE, Ala - Alabama A&M junior utility man Jared Tribett (Lumberton, Miss.) and junior pitcher Jose Figueroa (Toa Alta, Puerto Rico) delivered key performances in a series victory over Jackson State this past weekend for the first time since March, 2019, earning them a sweep of Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) honors as announced by the league on Tuesday, March 30.
 
Tribett was named Hitter of the Week while Figueroa earned Pitcher of the Week honors. The sweep is the first in the program's NCAA Division I history dating back to available records since 2006.
