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 Women’s Soccer Player of the Week
Frankie Marston – Middlebury – Jr. – GK – Vail, Colo.
Marston was a pivotal part of a 1-0-2 week in net for Middlebury. The Panther opened the slate with four saves in a 0-0 tie on the road against Union before tallying three stops in a 5-0 shutout of Connecticut College. Marston’s performance against the Camels helped seal the program’s fifth consecutive home opening triumph. The junior closed the week with a career-high seven saves to solidify a 1-1 tie against defending Liberty League Champion and unbeaten Vassar.
