Maslowski was named Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week. It is the first time the freshman has won the award. The libero collected 28 digs in two three-set victories for the Panthers last week. She had 16 in the midweek win over Medaille, and 12 more against Pitt-Greensburg. She also had two assists and three service aces against Pitt-Greensburg.
Rider won Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the week for the third time this season. He was been named player of the week in 3 of the last 4 weeks, and also gained national recognition as he was also named United Soccer Coaches Offensive Player of the Week on October 20th. Rider added three more goals to his AMCC leading total in a 1-1 week for the Panthers. Rider scored one goal in the 4-2 loss at Medaille, and added two more, including the game-winner, against Pitt-Greensburg on Saturday.
