Paiva and Davis Named Pepsi Zero MAAC Student-Athletes of the Week
Barbara Paiva
Women’s Soccer
Saint Peter’s University
Senior Barbara Paiva led the Saint Peter's women's soccer team with three goals in the final week of the season. Paiva scored the game-winning goal against Iona in a 2-1 win to keep the Peacocks' playoff hopes alive. In the season finale, she scored both of the Saint Peter's goals in a 2-2 draw with Rider.
Behind Paiva, the Peacocks posted the program's most MAAC wins and points since 1998. She concluded her Saint Peter's career as the programs all-time leader in shot attempts, tied for first in shots on goal, ranked fifth in goals, tied for fifth in game-winning goals, and ranked eighth in points.
Stosh Davis
Men’s Cross Country
Siena College
Davis punctuated an already phenomenal fall by finishing 11th overall to earn All-MAAC honors at the MAAC Cross Country Championships last weekend. The junior finished fourth individually to help lead the Saints to victory earlier this fall at the Great Dane Invitational, and was the men's top finisher at the season-opening Marist Invitational in which he finished fifth overall. Davis has excelled equally in the classroom where he currently maintains a solid 3.62 cumulative grade point average while majoring in economics.
