October 18, 2021

( FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 11 - 17 )

	PLAYER OF THE WEEK *Katherine Raposo, Albertus Magnus* (Sr., F - Warwick, R.I.) - Raposo was outstanding this week, pouring in 10 points on five goals over two games to lead the Falcons to a 1-1 record. The senior forward began the week by scoring both of Albertus' goal in the team's heart-breaking 3-2 overtime road loss to St. Joseph (Conn.) on Wednesday. Raposo then tallied her second hat trick of the season in the Falcons' convincing 6-1 victory over Dean on Saturday at Celentano Field.
	GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK *Angie Caldwell, Regis (Mass.)* (Sr., GK - Goffstown, N.H.) - Cladwell played the second half of both matches over the past week, facing high pressure situations in each case and making nine saves while allowing just one goal. Wednesday, she made two saves early in the second half to preserve Regis' one-goal advantage, and then she punched out an entry pass on a Simmons corner kick in the final minute to clinch the Pride's 1-0 victory. Saturday, after Regis had tied the match at 2-2, Caldwell made three saves in the final eight minutes of regulation to keep the contest a tie and force overtime. Caldwell would make three more saves in the first overtime period, finishing with a season-high seven saves in the contest.
	ROOKIE OF THE WEEK *Addie Legault, Emmanuel (Mass.)* (So, F - Farmington, Conn.) - LeGault scored all three Emmanuel goals on the week, including the game-winner with 6:03 left in regulation in a 1-0 GNAC victory over Norwich on Saturday for her team-high eighth goal of the season. The sophomore striker also found the back of the net twice on the road in a 3-2 setback versus GNAC power Saint Joseph's of Maine.
