her first assist of the year in a 4-0 win over Muhlenberg. She had
13 points over the three matches.
Defensive Player of the Week:
Krystyanna Ramsdell maintained her perfect record with a pair of
strong efforts in goal for Catholic this past week. She made six

Moravian’s goals in a 5-2 set-back to Muhlenberg, scoring
once and assisting on the other. He finished with five points from
two matches for the week.
Defensive Player of the Week:
Kurt Olsen was a big defensive contributor while also chipping in
offensively in a 2-0 week for USMMA. He assisted on the only goal
of the match as the Mariners bested Farmingdale State 1-0, and then

with another shutout blanking Juniata 3-0. He helped the USMMA
defense limit its opponents to just 11 shots over the two matches
in earning its third and fourth shutouts of the season.

Offensive Player of the Week:
Sisley Pumilia provided nearly all the offense as Goucher claimed
