Offensive Player of the Week
Nichole Schiro, Loyola, Sr., F, 5-9, Okemos, Mich./Okemos
Schiro capped her home career at Loyola in style, scoring four goals in two games, including all three Greyhounds' tallies in a 3-0 win Friday night against Niagara University. The game marked the second hat trick of her record-setting career at Loyola. On Sunday, she followed up that performance with a goal and an assist in a victory over Canisius College. This season, Schiro leads the MAAC with 13 goals and 30 points. Her career points shatter that of any other player at Loyola, recording 115 points and 50 goals. This weekend, Schiro tallied 13 shots and five shots-on-goal against Niagara and Canisius.
Defensive Player of the Week
Caitlin Hoffer, Sr., GK, 5-8, Bardonia, N.Y./Albertus Magnus High School
In her last home match as a Peacock, Hoffer helped guide the Peacocks to a 2-1 victory over defending MAAC champion Marist College. She came up with a career-high 17 saves in the double-overtime match, ranking her performance in the NCAA top 10 for individual game high saves this season. Hoffer also assisted on the game-winning goal with 49 seconds in the second overtime period, as she sent a punt past midfield to teammate Emily Fenice, who would score the game winner. The victory marked the first time since 2004 that Saint Peter's defeated Marist. Before yesterday's loss, the Red Foxes were undefeated in MAAC play. Additionally, in the Peacocks' hard-fought 2-0 loss to Siena, Hoffer also came up with double-digit saves, finishing the match with 12 stops.
Rookie of the Week
Megan McEnroe, Marist, Fr., F, 5-5, St. James, N.Y./Smithtown East
McEnroe provided instant offense for the Red Foxes in their win on Friday evening on the road at Manhattan. After coming off of the bench in the 35th minute, the freshman broke the 1-1 tie with a scorching shot from atop the 18-yard box into the upper right 90 in the 44th minute. McEnroe's first career goal would stand up over the remaining 46 minutes as the game-winning tally in a 2-1 victory for Marist.
