PITMAN, NJ -- Sophia Weisler, MaKala Baker, Braden Sheehan, Benjamin Haddad, Rhylee Cornell, Peyton Stauffer all scored honors from the New Jersey Athletic Conference in its weekly awards for the week ending October 12th.

Weisler had two goals and an assist to capture the NJAC Field Hockey Rookie of the Week honors as the #16 Profs defeated Stockton, 5-4, to open conference play last Wednesday. The freshman scored the Profs' first goal of the game and then assisted on the second. With the Profs trailing, 4-3, she scored the tying goal with the eventual gamewinner  coming just two minutes later. Weisler now has three goals on the season.

Baker earned NJAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week accolades as the sophomore was instrumental in two wins last week including an upset of Division III's top ranked team. On Wednesday in that 2-1 victory over #1 Messiah, Baker keyed the defense in shutting out the Falcons in the second half. She then led the backline in a 3-0 win over WPU on Saturday as the defense did not allow a shot for the #17th-ranked Profs.

Both the men's and women's swim teams took home a total of four weekly honors.
