The primetime pitcher of the week is the fifth national accolade for Fontanez so far this week. He has already picked Up national pitcher of the week honors from the NCWBA, Louisville Slugger, the College Baseball blog and College Baseball Insider, as well as conference honors from the BIG EAST.

Fontanez fired the first 9-inning no-hitter in Division I baseball this season, during his team's BIG EAST Conference opening 4-0 win over visiting Notre Dame.  The gem sparked the Bulls to a series sweep.

The 6-1, 195-pound righthander racked up a career-high 12 strikeouts and only two walks, while throwing 80 of his 119 pitches (67%) for strikes. Fontanez did not allow a runner to reach second base until there was one out in the top of the 9th (thanks to the second catchers-interference call of the game). The gem is the third no-hitter in USF history and the first since 1992.

Over the course of the nine innings, Fontanez faced 31 batters and allowed only three balls to reach the outfield.  His 27 outs included the 12 Ks (at least one every inning and half of them 'looking') along with 10 groundouts, a foulout to first base, a popup to the shortstop and three flyouts (leftfielder Junior Carlin never had to touch the ball in the game). Veteran outfielder Ryan Connolly (3-hole hitter) was the only Notre Dame batter that reached base multiple times and was ND's only baserunner until the 9th.
