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 Field Hockey Co-Players of the Week
Mackay Bommer – Bowdoin – Sr. – F – Rye, N.Y.
Bommer lifted the Polar Bears to their first win over Middlebury since 2015, handing the No. 2 ranked Panthers their first conference home loss since 2022 in a 2-1 shootout victory on Saturday. Trailing 1-0 in the third quarter, Bommer netted her fifth goal of the season to even the score. After a scoreless fourth quarter and overtime, the match went to a shootout, where Bommer buried the decisive fifth-round tally to seal the win for Bowdoin.
 
Ginna Jacoby – Colby – Fy. – GK – Denver, Colo.
Jacoby tallied a career-high 21 saves in Colby's 5-2 win over 10th-ranked Hamilton. The 21 saves are the most in the NESCAC this season and ranks among the top 10 individual performances in NCAA Division III this year. Jacoby fought off an onslaught to open the game, collecting eight saves as the Mules opened up a 3-1 win after the first quarter.  The first-year was just as impressive to close the game, saving six shots in the closing frame. The Mules managed a victory despite being outshot 33-10 and defending 16 penalty corners by the Continentals.  

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Bates – Rose Gordon (North Andover, Mass.) picked the perfect time to score her first collegiate goal as the No. 5 nationally ranked Bates field hockey team defeated No. 7 Williams, 2-1, on Saturday. Gordon scored the eventual game-winner off a penalty corner in the 52nd minute to give the Bobcats their first 9-0 start in program history. Her initial look got blocked but she was able to recover and score from the top of the circle. Bates (9-1, 5-1 NESCAC) is tied for first place in the conference standings with four games to play.

Conn. College – Senior Bridget McGann (West Hartford, Conn.) scored her team-leading fifth goal of the season last week in a conference showdown at Trinity. The first-half tally tied the game at 1-1 and was McGann's 33rd career goal.

Hamilton – Rookie Brighton McMahon (Hebron, Conn.) scored the game-winning goal with 2:12 left in the fourth quarter of the Continentals' 2-1 win at nationally ranked No. 5 Bates. McMahon's tally helped Hamilton hand the Bobcats their first loss this season.

Middlebury - Addie Chandler (Denver, Colo.) scored the lone goal for the Panthers against Bowdoin on Saturday. The rookie ranks second on the team with five markers and 11 points.

Tufts - In Tufts' only game of the week, Eleanor Helm (Loudonville, N.Y.) scored twice in the Jumbos' 5-1 victory at Trinity on Saturday. After the host Bantams took a 1-0 lead in the second quarter, Helm scored the next two goals to put the Jumbos in front 2-1. The rookie’s  first goal came with 55 seconds left in the first half to tie the score, 1-1. Helm scored again two minutes into the second half to give the Jumbos a lead they would not relinquish. Helm has seven goals and four assists (18 points) in the first 10 games of her collegiate career.
 
Wesleyan – Senior Georgia Adams (Andover, Mass.) scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Amherst on Saturday, giving the Cardinals their first win over the Mammoths since 2005. The goal came just under six minutes into the second half as Adams swept in the game-winner to give Wesleyan its first NESCAC win of the season.
