Field Hockey NEC Player of the Week


Michelle Pieczynski, Monmouth
Doylestown, PA / Central Bucks West
F
Senior
5-9



Pieczynski put forth the highest point total of any NEC player last week.  Monmouth’s senior forward accounted for seven points (3G, 1A) during the two-game weekend sweep that moved the Hawks to 4-1 in conference play. Pieczynski struck in the 13th minute against Bryant, scoring on a deflection to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead in a game they would lead the remainder of the way.  Monmouth’s all-time leading scorer rattled the cage twice in the first half of a 7-1 win over Siena.  With the game tied at 1-1, Pieczynski scored the eventual game-winner on a deflection in the 24th minute.  She added another tally as the first half expired, sending the Hawks into the dressing room with a 4-1 advantage.

 



Sandra Penas, Rider

F
Junior
5-6



Penas opened the scoring in both of Rider’s wins last week.  The reigning NEC Offensive Player of the Year totaled three goals as the Broncs responded to their first NEC loss in 25 games by posting back-to-back league victories. The junior forward rattled the cage in the ninth minute against Siena, sending the Broncs on their way to a 3-0 lead in the eventual 3-1 triumph.  Two days later, she single-handedly staked Rider out to a 2-0 advantage against Bryant before the game was even eight minutes old.  Penas tipped one past the Bulldogs’ keeper off a corner play in the sixth minute and added a second tally only 1:32 later in the 4-2 triumph.
