MAAC Offensive Player of the Week
RYCKE GUINEY, Marist
M, Sr., 5-4, Naperville, IL/Naperville North
Guiney led Marist to a 5-0 victory Rider as she erupted for three goals and added an assist. She set a Red Foxes record for most points in a single match with seven. Guiney scored the match’s first goal on a header and then scored just before halftime to give Marist a 2-0 lead at the break. It was the first hat trick for Marist in 15 years. Guiney also had a shot on goal in a 1-0 loss to Siena earlier in the week.
MAAC Defensive Player of the Week
CLAIRE FEIERTAG, Niagara
G, So., 5-7, Ridgeway, Ont./Ridgeway Crystal Beach
Feiertag, a sophomore goalie, helped Niagara to a pair of victories last week as the Purple Eagles extended their win streak to three matches. In a 1-0 victory over Canisius, Feiertag registered seven saves, one shy of career high. Feiertag then made two saves in a 2-1 double overtime victory over Saint Peter’s.
MAAC Rookie of the Week
ALEXIS McTAMNEY, Monmouth
F, Fr., 5-4, Bordentown, NJ/Bordentown Regional
McTamney receives Rookie of the Week honors for the fourth time this season, coming off of a seven-point week that saw the Hawks win both matches.

McTamney now has four game-winning goals on the season.
