NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Bowdoin – Junior Sara Ito-Bagshaw (Mississauga, Ont.) and sophomore Meghan Britt (Arlington, Mass.) had three assists apiece in a 5-0 win at Suffolk.

Colby – Senior Breanna Studley (Berkley, Mass.) tallied a goal and four assists at the Utica Tournament. The defender assisted Colby's lone goal in a 2-1 overtime setback against Cortland and tallied a goal and three assists in a 5-1 win over Utica. Studley’s goal opened the scoring late in the first frame, and her three helpers extended Colby's lead late in the second period and early in the third stanza. The final two tallies came within 42 seconds of each other.  

Conn. College - Senior forward Bridget McGann (West Hartford, Conn.) paced Conn. College in its first two games of 2026, recording two goals. On Friday night, McGann made a stellar defensive play to steal a puck at center ice, skated around the entire Suffolk defense, and fired a shot into the goal to put the Camels ahead and give Conn. College a lead it would not relinquish in a 5-2 victory. On Saturday against Wesleyan, McGann cut the Conn. College deficit to one with a nifty deflection in the third period.

Hamilton – Senior Evie Sheridan (Syracuse, N.Y.) made 19 saves in a 2-0 win over SUNY Canton in the Continentals' lone game of the week. It was Sheridan's second shutout in three starts this season. Classmate Grace Crowley (Wayland, Mass.) picked up the primary assist on the first goal and won 9-of-15 faceoffs. Crowley leads the Continentals with five helpers.

Middlebury – Junior Kate Flynn (Milton, Mass.) tallied Middlebury’s lone goal in a 1-1 tie against No. 6 Endicott.

Trinity – Meena Al-Kadiri (Arlington, Va.) registered a pair of goals to help the Bantams defeat SUNY Morrisville, 5-1, in the consolation game of the Mustang Cup. The first-year forward put Trinity on the scoreboard with a power play goal late in the first period and followed up with a marker in the final minute of the third period to seal the victory.

Wesleyan – Rookie Parker Caldara (Scarsdale, N.Y.) continued her hot start to the year, registering three points, including two goals, in a 3-2 win at Conn. College in a non-conference contest in the only game of the week for the Cardinals. The three-point game was Caldara's first multi-point game of her career, as she had a hand (scored or assisted) on all three Wesleyan goals in the first Cardinal win of the season. 

Williams – Senior goalie Erin Pye (Third Lake, Ill.) made 20 saves and earned the shutout in a 5-0 victory over Lake Forest on January 2 in the only game of the week for the Ephs.
