Shannon Hughes
Rider University
Field Hockey
Senior tri-captain Shannon Hughes scored a goal and added an assist as Rider defeated Towson, 4-0, last week. Hughes potted her first tally of the season late in the first half to give the Broncs a 2-0 advantage. She would add an assist on Rider's third goal off a penalty corner.
Mike Winter
Saint Peter’s University
Men’s Golf
Winter has helped lead the men’s golf team to two top five finishes this fall, as the team placed fourth in both the Tiger Intercollegiate Invitational and the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Invitational. Winter has the team’s only top 10 finish in the fall as he posted a 146 (+3) to lead the Peacocks in the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Invitational, finishing the two-round tournament tied for ninth place.
During the 2017 spring season, Winter became the second Saint Peter’s golfer ever to claim the MAAC individual crown and win the McLeod Trophy. He helped lead the Peacocks to the program’s third MAAC team title in four years, making the team’s third appearance to the NCAA Regional. Winter also shot the second best individual round in program history during the third round of the tournament and his tournament overall score was the third best ever by a Peacock in the tournament.
In the classroom, Winter is a Business Management major who holds a GPA above 3.2, which earned him spots on the spring MAAC All-Academic team and the 2016-17 MAAC Academic Honor Roll.
