Every Monday during the season, a 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
Hannah Biccard – Tufts – Sr. – Forward – Cape Town, South Africa
Biccard tied the Tufts University record for goals in a game with five in the Jumbos' 8-0 NESCAC win at Colby on Saturday. The senior scored twice in the first quarter to help Tufts build a 3-0 lead, then once in the second as the Jumbos led 5-0 at the half. With two more goals in the third quarter, she tied the record set by Chelsea Yogerst against the University of New England in 2014. The Jumbos’ eight goals tied for the second-most that the team has ever scored in a NESCAC game.

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Amherst – Sophomore Caroline Busler (Greenwich, Conn.) scored 2:34 in overtime to give the Mammoths a 2-1 win over WPI last week, a 1-1week for the Mammoths. It was her second extra-time game-winner of the season. 

Bates – Rookie Sophia Cordoni (San Jose, Calif.) scored once against Thomas in a 2-0 win for the No. 8 nationally ranked Bobcats on Wednesday and followed up with a pair of goals on Saturday in a 7-0 win for Bates over Husson. The Bobcats are 5-0 for the first time since 1983, and Cordoni leads the team with four goals on the season.

Bowdoin – Junior Emily Ferguson (Shrewsbury, Mass.) had a hand in all three goals as the Polar Bears remained unbeaten with a 3-1 win over Connecticut College on Saturday. Ferguson scored the first goal of the game, assisted on Bowdoin's second, and after the Camels had cut the lead to 2-1, added a key insurance goal with 6:38 remaining to seal the win. Ferguson also added two assists in a mid-week win at Southern Maine and leads Bowdoin with 13 points (four goals, five assists) this season. 
 
Colby - Bridget Everett (Barnstable, Mass.) scored the first two goals of the game in a 7-1 win over Husson on Sunday. After a scoreless first quarter, the junior opened the second frame with her first tally of the season, giving Colby a 1-0 lead heading into the break. Everett scored the eventual game-winner 30 seconds into the third frame. 

Connecticut College – Elizabeth Bonner (Westfield, N.J.) scored a pair of goals last week as the Camels went 1-1. The sophomore netted both goals in a 4-1 victory over Wellesley, the first multi-goal game of her collegiate career. Bonner notched the game-winning goal in the opening quarter and added her second tally in the third, bringing her team-leading goal total to three.

Hamilton - Sammy Higgins (Weston, Mass.) helped the Continentals to two road wins against ranked teams. In a 4-1 victory at Wesleyan, Higgins had assists on Hamilton's first and fourth goals for the senior's second multi-assist game this season. The midfielder led off the shootout at Rochester with a successful attempt, and the Continentals went on to post the 1-0 shutout.

Middlebury – Junior Megan Fuqua (Medfield, Mass.) continued her offensive tear in a 2-0 week for Middlebury. The Panther tied for the team lead with two shots on goal as the squad earned a 1-0 victory over Trinity. Fuqua followed up with a career day against Babson in a top-five showdown, registering four goals and eight points as Middlebury claimed a 5-1 triumph. Three of the markers came in the first half versus the Beavers. Through five contests this year, the Panther has already surpassed her previous season highs for goals (8) and points (17), which both lead the conference.

Trinity – Senior Hayley Gable (Gilbertsville, Pa.) was vital to the Bantams battling top-ranked Middlebury College to a 1-0 overtime loss. Gable registered six saves in the cage to preserve a clean sheet in regulation, and the lone goal allowed is the lowest total surrendered to the Panthers since 2022.
 
Williams – Junior Claire Colvin (Winchester, Mass.) scored the Ephs’ game-winning goal in the fifth minute in a 2-0 victory at Amherst on Saturday.
