PLAYER/ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

Grace Kociszewski, University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) (Fr., F/M)

First-year Forward/Midfielder Grace Kociszewski was an instrumental piece to the Blue Jays offensively this past week. Kociszewski started the week off by collecting a goal and assist for three points in a road victory at Morrisville. At home, the first-year netted two goals despite the set back against non-conference Plymouth State. Grace would help the Blue Jays bounce back as she scored the game-winning goal on the road, giving them the victory over Ramapo. The freshman is currently second in the GNAC in both goals (5) and points (12).

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Senior defender Kaleigh Miller was the defensive anchor for a Lasell defense that only allowed two goals in two of their contests. Miller led the Lasers to a conference shut-out against Albertus Magnus, only allowing three shots the whole frame and followed up with limiting non-conference Framingham State to six shots on goal and three penalty corners, guiding Lasell to a 2-0 week.

GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK

Courtney Tello, Lasell (Sr., GK)

Senior Goalkeeper Courtney Tello had herself a solid week being the last line of defense for a Lasers defense that only gave up two goals.

The senior had a save percentage of .750 percent and an average of 1.05 goals allowed per game. Tello is currently second in the GNAC in save percentage (.882) and goals against average (0.69).
