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 Player of the Week
Ava Donohue – Bates – So. – Goalie – Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.
Donohue started the week with seven saves in a win over Colby in the final game of the regular season. In the NESCAC Quarterfinals against Hamilton, the sophomore turned in her best performance of the season. First, Donohue made a pair of saves in regulation and overtime on her way to her third shutout of the year. In the shootout, Donohue allowed one goal in five Hamilton attempts as Bates prevailed 2-1 to advance to the NESCAC Semifinals for the third straight season.

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Amherst – Bella Kim (Vienna, Va.) scored the game-winning goal with 8:56 remaining in the contest in a 2-1 win over Trinity last week, a 1-1 week for the Mammoths. Kim finished her rookie campaign leading the team in goals (5) and points (11).

Bowdoin - Senior Mackay Bommer (Rye, N.Y.) scored her ninth goal of the season – a single-season career high - on Saturday in the NESCAC Quarterfinals at Middlebury.

Colby – Sophomore Christina Sweeney (Milton, Mass.) tallied her 11th goal of the season in Colby’s 3-2 setback to No. 6 Bates in the regular-season finale. Sweeney's goal total marks the most for Colby since All-American Georgia Cassidy '20 scored 11 goals in 2019. 

Conn. College – Margaret Sadak (Glastonbury, Conn.) recorded a pair of assists as the Camels wrapped up the season with a road loss to Wesleyan. It marked the senior’s first career game with multiple assists, and she finished the year with a career-high eight points on three goals and two assists.

Hamilton – Kelly Janssen (Greenwich, Conn.) made five saves in a 1-0 shootout loss at Bates in the NESCAC Quarterfinals. The shutout was Janssen's second in three career starts. The sophomore has allowed one goal – on a penalty stroke – in the last 300 minutes in the cage. Morgan Clarke (Kent, Conn.) added a defensive save for the Continentals. Clarke is third in the NESCAC with four defensive saves and already has 10 in the sophomore's career.

Middlebury – Junior Megan Fuqua (Medfield, Mass.) was the catalyst in two important victories for Middlebury. In Tuesday’s regular-season finale against Williams, Fuqua converted both of her shootout attempts, including the eventual game-winner, to seal a 1-0 shootout win over the Ephs. The midfielder continued her surge against Bowdoin in the NESCAC Quarterfinals. Fuqua tied the contest with a penalty stroke goal early in the second quarter and tallied the assist on Middlebury’s second marker to help lead the squad to a 3-2 overtime victory. The multi-point performance on Saturday was Fuqua’s fifth of the campaign.

Tufts – Malo scored twice and had an assist to figure in all three Tufts goals as the Jumbos won their NESCAC Quarterfinal against Amherst on Saturday, 3-2. The junior assisted the first goal and then scored the second goal as the Jumbos took a 2-0 lead early in the second quarter. Amherst came back and tied the score, 2-2, heading into halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, Malo scored two minutes into the fourth quarter for the game-winning goal, helping No. 1 seed Tufts move on to host the semifinal and championship weekend. The two goals are Malo's first two of the season.

Wesleyan – Georgia Adams (Andover, Mass.) recorded one goal and three assists in two games for the Cardinals last week. Adams opened the week with a career-high three assists in a 6-2 home win over Conn. College in the regular season finale, which secured Wesleyan the No. 4 seed and a home game in the NESCAC Tournament. In the NESCAC Quarterfinal showdown with Williams, Adams netted her ninth goal of the year, scoring early in the fourth quarter to put Wesleyan ahead 2-0 in a game the Cardinals eventually won 2-1. The win secured the Cardinals' first NESCAC Tournament victory since 2005 and just the third NESCAC Tournament win in program history. 

Williams – Senior Anna Miller (Weston, Mass.) scored her third goal of the season for No. 16 and fifth-seeded Williams in the 58th minute against No. 7 and fourth-seeded Wesleyan in the NESCAC Quarterfinals on Saturday.
