Saint Francis (PA)'s Tesa McKibben
Following another impressive performance, Tesa McKibben of Saint Francis (PA) is the NEC Women's Soccer Player of the Week for the third time this season. McKibben contributed two assists and a goal in the Red Flash's 3-0 over Mt. Saint Mary's, and the lone score in their 1-0 win over defending NEC champions LIU Brooklyn. This was the second time this season McKibben has had a hand in all offensive plays. On the defensive side, two goalkeepers, Saint Francis (PA)'s Brianna Butcher and Quinnipiac's Jill Kelley, were tabbed NEC Defensive Co-Players of the Week for their two shutout weekends to give their teams a 2-0 start. Monmouth's Brianne Boyle is the NEC Rookie of the Week, scoring the only goal to lift the Hawks to a 1-0 win against Bryant on Sunday.
