Derek Peterson collected three hits, drove in three and scored a pair of runs to lead the Owls past No. 24 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on Saturday. The win was the Owls first against a ranked team since 2008. 

The junior from Wall, N.J. also led the Owls' charge on Sunday against Holy Cross in the first game of a doubleheader, driving in four with a double and a home run. 

Peterson finished the weekend 6-for-16 (2B, 3B, HR) with 8 RBI and struck out just once.

Each Monday during the college baseball season the Philadelphia Baseball Review will unveil a Player of the Week.
