This week’s Athlete of the Week is awarded to Brittany Palasik. Making eight saves in the Shorewomen’s two games this week earned Palasik the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week. She made three defensive saves in a 5-1 win over Swarthmore Tuesday and a school-record of five in a 3-2 overtime loss to Christopher Newport Sunday.
She now has 10 defensive saves on the season, one shy of the single-season school record, and 18 in her career, tied for third-most in school history.
