NEC WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Hannah Anselmo, Sr., F., Stonehill
Fall River, MA/Bishop Connolly
Anselmo had two outstanding performances for Stonehill last week in guiding the Skyhawks to a pair of wins. The Fall River, MA native netted back-to-back braces, marking the fifth time she has scored two or more goals in a match this season. Anselmo netted the first two goals in Stonehill's 3-0 win over Delaware State on Thursday, and then followed by scoring two equalizers against Mercyhurst on Sunday in a 3-2 comeback win for the Skyhawks. The senior created some distance between herself and the rest of the conference in the goal scoring and points leaderboards. She has amassed a league leading 13 goals and 27 points. Anselmo is currently tied for fourth in the nation in goals, fifth in goals per game (0.87), as well as 12th in points per game (1.80). The reigning NEC Player of the Year has now earned her second NEC Player of the Week nod of the year.

NEC WOMEN'S SOCCER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Trinity Knox, Jr., GK, Howard
Atlanta, GA/Woodward Academy
Knox maintained a steady performance between the woodwork for Howard last week. The junior kept a clean sheet in Howard's 1-0 win over New Haven on Thursday, and made seven saves against Chicago State on Sunday. Knox's seven-save outing marks the fourth time this season she has stopped at least seven shots. The two-time NEC Goalkeeper of the Year is first in the NEC in save percentage (.826), tied for first in the NEC in shutouts (three), and second in goals against average (.894). The Atlanta, GA product has posted the best goals-against average of her career so far and has earned three Prime Performer awards this season.

NEC WOMEN'S SOCCER ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Dani Lomuscio, Fr., D/M, Stonehill
Wrentham, MA/King Philip
Lomuscio played a substantial role in Stonehill's 3-0 win over Delaware State on Thursday. The freshman assisted on both Hannah Anselmo goals to put the Skyhawks ahead 2-0 in that match. Lomuscio shares the team lead in assists (four) this season and is tied for fourth in the NEC in the category. She has now been named NEC Rookie of the Week on two occasions.

NEC PRIME PERFORMERS

Andrea Ougaard, Sr., M., FDU
Ougaard tallied three points in a perfect week for an FDU team off to an 8-0 start in league play. The senior assisted on the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Central Connecticut on Thursday and scored the opener on Sunday in a 3-1 win over Saint Francis. Ougaard now has 13 points from four goals and five assists this season, ranking her fifth in the NEC for points and third in assists.

Nadia Wojcik, Jr., D., FDU
Wojcik was the other FDU player to pick up three points last week. The junior gave the Knights the lead just nine minutes into their match against Central Connecticut and assisted on the third FDU goal against Saint Francis. Wojcik's goal was her first of the season.

Trinity Knox, Jr., GK., Howard
NEC Defensive Player of the Week.

Hannah Anselmo, Sr., F., Stonehill
NEC Player of the Week.

Martha Lord, So., F., Stonehill
Lord was the deciding factor in Stonehill's comeback win over Mercyhurst. With six minutes remaining and the match level at two, Lord scored a screamer from 35 yards away to give the Skyhawks the lead and eventually the win. The sophomore's first goal of the season was an important one, keeping Stonehill's playoff hopes alive.

Allie Sougaris, So., GK., Stonehill
Sougaris notched her third shutout of the season in Stonehill's win over Delaware State. The second year goalkeeper made three saves over the course of two matches last week. Sougaris has set a new career high for saves in a season with 54 in the current campaign and is one shutout away from matching her 2024 tally. She has now earned three Prime Performer awards this season.

Kelly Gallagher, So., M., Wagner
Gallagher picked up three points in Wagner's lone match this week, a 2-1 win over Le Moyne on Sunday that improved the Seahawks to 5-1-1 in NEC play. The midfielder gave the Seahawks the lead in the 66th minute with her fourth goal of the season. Gallagher then assisted on Vanessa Lovia's goal just two minutes later to double Wagner's lead in an instant. Her 11 points this season are the most of any Wagner player.
