Every Monday during the season, one NESCAC Player of the Week will be selected based on information submitted by the athletic communications offices at member institutions.
 
NESCAC Women's Soccer Player of the Week
Taya McClennen – Middlebury – So. – Midfield – Jackson, Wyo.
McClennen led Middlebury to a 2-0 week by scoring all three goals the Panthers tallied last week. Against Colby, McClennen broke the scoreless tie with a header in the 24th minute that proved to be the only tally in the Panthers’ 1-0 victory. The midfielder added two first-half goals to close Middlebury’s non-conference schedule in a 2-1 triumph over the University of Southern Maine. It was the sophomore’s first multi-goal game as a member of the Panthers.
