Offensive Player of the Week
Riley Reitchel (Palermo, Maine) - Senior - Forward - Southern Maine
Reitchel had a point in each of the Huskies' three games during a 1-1-1 week. She assisted on one of the Huskies' five goals in a shutout win over UMaine Farmington Wednesday, and then scored the first of two goals in USM's 2-2 draw with WestConn Saturday. Against No. 12 Middlebury Sunday, Reitchel earned her 19th career assist pressing the Middlebury backs, earning the turnover, and feeding teammate Lexi Morin for the goal in the 35th minute of a 2-1 setback.
Defensive Player of the Week
Florence Guimont (Boisbriand, Quebec) - Freshman - Defense - Southern Maine
Earning a start and seeing action in two at center back, the Huskies' rookie helped Southern Maine to a 5-0 win over UMaine Farmington, scoring her first intercollegiate goal, smartly making a run into the box and helping USM hold the Beavers to just one shot in the contest Wednesday. Against No. 12 Middlebury on Sunday, Guimont earned the start (second of her career), playing 56 minutes, and helping limit the Panther offense.
Goalkeeper of the Week
Alex Ignatowicz (Coventry, Conn.) - Sophomore - Eastern Connecticut
Ignatowicz improved to 6-1-2 this year in recording her tenth career win in a 4-1 Little East Conference road win over UMass Dartmouth. Last year’s LEC Goalie of the Year made a career-high 12 saves – eight in the second half when she protected the team’s 3-0 halftime lead. It was her only appearance of the week.
Rookie of the Week
Lexi Morin (Brunswick, Maine) - Freshman - Forward - Southern Maine
Morin notched at least one point in each of the Huskies' three contests during a 1-1-1 week, finishing with two goals and two assists for six points. She assisted on the game-winning goal against UMaine Farmington, and against WestConn assisted on the Huskies’ first goal before scoring the equalizer in the 85th minute of the 2-2 draw. Against No. 12 Middlebury, Morin scored in the 36th minute as she and Riley Reitchel worked a press to turn the ball over from the Panthers in the offensive third.
