With her fourth player of the week selection, Timko tied the top mark at RMU of her current assistant coach, Lauren Dickinson, who also won a quartet of honors in the same category from 1999-2002. Timko also became the first student-athlete to earn two player of the week awards from the NEC in the same season since 2009 and the first Colonial to achieve the feat since Dickinson pulled the trick twice in the span of three weeks in April 2002.

Timko, who now has six career weekly honors overall from the NEC, helped Robert Morris to an important doubleheader sweep of Quinnipiac Saturday by going a combined 4-for-6 with two home runs and four RBI. She launched a three-run, opposite field-shot with two outs in the first inning of Game One that provided an early sparkplug to help the Colonials to an 11-1 victory in five innings.

In the nightcap against the Bobcats, Timko was a perfect 3-for-3 off Quinnipiac ace Heather Schwartzburg, the NEC leader in ERA and opposing batter average against, including delivering a game-tying homer on an 0-2 pitch in the bottom of the fifth. It marked the third occasion in her career in which she homered twice on the same day for the Colonials and the first time in regular-season conference play.

Timko, who had a 1.667 slugging percentage and a .667 on-base percentage for the week, came through on both ends in the game's decisive 10th inning. With two outs and a Bobcat runner on third, she tracked down a lined shot in deep left center that seemed destined for extra bases to preserve the tie. She then put down a key sacrifice bunt in the bottom half as the winning run crossed the plate on the ensuing play when senior Kayla Crooks (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Brashear) drove in freshman Chelsea Siar (Glenshaw, Pa. / Shaler Area) with a full-count, lined single to right.

Timko is tied for the team lead with five home runs, tops the squad with a .495 slugging percentage and has scored 22 runs in 29 games played. She is performing even better during the all-important NEC games as she is hitting .308 with a team-leading .654 slugging mark.

Timko is the program's all-time leading hitter, sporting a career .355 mark (min. 250 AB), and has started to advance up the charts in other categories as well. After her two-homer day, she tied and then passed Dickinson in career long balls to move into sole possession of third place all-time with 18. The junior also ranks eighth in RMU history in career runs scored with 91.

Robert Morris is 11-5 in the NEC and controls its own destiny with regard to earning the top seed and the right to host the upcoming NEC Tournament. RMU has four league games remaining--a pair of road contests at in-state rival Saint Francis (Pa.) Thursday, May 5, and a home double-dip with Mount St. Mary's Sunday, May 8.
