WEEK ENDING 10/1/06

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  

Vicki Egerer, Kean University
Senior, Forward
Washington, NJ/Warren Hills

Egerer earns NJAC Offensive Player of the Week honors after tallying seven points in a 2-0 week of play for the Cougars. She first notched a goal and three assists for five total points in Kean’s 4-1 non-conference road win at Moravian. She wrapped up the week by registering a goal in the second half of the Cougars’ come-from-behind 2-1 NJAC road victory at rival Ramapo. Egerer currently leads the NJAC in assists per game with a mark of 0.86.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  

Meg Hess, The College of New Jersey
Senior, Back
Morristown, NJ/Morristown

Hess becomes the second different Lion to earn NJAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after playing a key role in a pair of TCNJ victories. She first keyed a defensive unit that held the Red Hawks to just one shot during the Lions’ 2-1 NJAC victory over Montclair State. She then was a key contributor to a TCNJ defense that held Manhattanville to just four total shots in the Lions’ 8-1 non-conference road win. The reigning NJAC Defensive Player of the Year, Hess is the leader of a TCNJ defensive unit that leads the NJAC in both fewest goals allowed (5) and fewest goals allowed per game (0.71).

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK  

Chelsea Winkelspecht, William Paterson University
Freshman, Midfielder
Sicklerville, NJ/Washington Township

Winkelspecht earns NJAC Rookie of the Week honors after registering five points in a 1-1 week of play for the Pioneers. After not scoring in Paterson’s 2-0 non-conference loss to Alvernia, she notched two goals including the game-winner while adding an assist in just the second NJAC match of her career during the Pioneers’ 5-2 conference road win at Richard Stockton. Winkelspecht currently is tied for the conference lead with two game-winning goals on the season.
