PLAYER OF THE WEEK Miya Nishibun, Regis (Mass.) (Sr., B/M - Honolulu, Hawaii) - Nishibun continues to emerge as an offensive threat for the Pride, registering five goals for 10 points in a 2-0 week in GNAC play. She notched her second hat trick of the season in Wednesday's 5-2 victory at Colby-Sawyer. Her first goal came just 1:09 into the match, followed by tallies in the 63rd minute and 68th minute on a penalty kick. She struck quickly Saturday against Emmanuel, curving a corner kick over the goal line in the 11th minute, and then picked up a loose ball and found the back of the net in the 17th minute for her eighth goal of the season. The eight goals this year are already tied for eighth on Regis's single-season scoring list.
