NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Amherst – Caroline Coletti (Carlisle, Mass.) scored a goal and assisted another in a 3-0 win over Trinity last week for the Mammoths. The junior assisted on Becca Button's first goal, the game-winner, then scored an insurance marker to make it 2-0. Coletti finished her junior campaign with five goals and one assist for 11 points. 
 
Bates – Sydney Litney (Schaumburg, Ill.) recorded a career-high 13 saves Tuesday at Colby to help the Bobcats secure a 1-1 draw to clinch a spot in the NESCAC Tournament for the first time since 2015. The senior followed up with four saves at Williams in the conference quarterfinal. Litney’s .851 save percentage ranks second in the NESCAC, and her 0.87 goals against average is the third-best in the conference this season.
 
Colby – Junior Ella Caraluzzi (Brookfield, Conn.) was the catalyst for the Mules' attack in the regular season finale against Bates, delivering the game-tying goal in the 64th minute to secure a crucial 1-1 draw and lock up Colby's first home playoff game in 30 years.
 
Conn. College - Junior goalkeeper Maia Kafer (Philadelphia, Pa.) led Conn. College to a 1-1 record to close out the year. On Wednesday night against Wesleyan, Kafer faced 12 shots, keeping the clean sheet in a 2-0 win over the Cardinals, as the Camels locked up the sixth seed for the NESCAC Tournament. On Saturday at Hamilton in the quarterfinals, Kafer stopped a career-high 10 shots for the Camels.
 
Hamilton – Senior Sarah Flood (Toronto, Ontario) had an assist on all three of the Continentals' goals in their 3-0 NESCAC Quarterfinal win over Connecticut College. It was the first three-assist match by a Hamilton player since Oct. 16, 2018, and put the Continentals into the semifinals for the first time since 2021.
 
Middlebury – Sophomore Mariana Rode (Fairfax, Calif.) was the hero for No. 25 Middlebury, striking a shot into the upper-right portion of the net with 4:23 remaining in the second overtime to seal a 1-0 upset of fourth-seeded Colby in the NESCAC Quarterfinals. The tally was Rode’s fourth of the season and second of the game-winning variety. 
 
Tufts – Senior Waverly Sumner (Dover, Mass.) tallied seven points on three goals and an assist to help the Jumbos grab two wins against Bowdoin and Wesleyan and remain unbeaten. In a 5-0 shutout win versus the Polar Bears, Sumner buried her eighth and ninth goals of the season. In a 4-2 victory over Wesleyan in the NESCAC Quarterfinals, the senior forward netted her team-leading 10th marker of the season and added her second assist on the eventual game-winning goal to help Tufts secure a spot in the conference semifinals.
