A week removed from earning NEC Rookie of the Week honors, Caracciolo garnered the Defensive Player of the Week award this time around after racking up 15 saves in an 11-8 win over Providence on Saturday. Caracciolo, who hails from Centreville, VA, posted a .652 save percentage against the Big East foe, and denied the Friars on five opportunities in the fourth quarter to lock it down for the Bulldogs. He was also efficient clearing the ball as Bryant successfully transitioned the ball from defense to offense at a .944 (17-of-18) rate. Caracciolo has 31 saves in two games combined, and boasts a solid .646 percentage to lead the NEC in both categories.
