PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Corinne Bednarik, Drexel
Fifth Year | Attack/Midfield | Glenmoore, Pa. / Downingtown West
Bednarik erupted for 11 points on six goals and five assists in Drexel’s season-opening 14-6 win at Binghamton. The 11-point performance was a Drexel program record, tied for the most by any player in the nation in the season’s opening weekend, and made Bednarik one of four players in CAA history with 11+ points in a game. Bednarik, the reigning CAA Attacker of the Year, eclipsed 200 career points in the victory and moved into the top five in Drexel’s record book.
CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Madison Hranicka, Delaware
Graduate Student | Defense | Mendham, N.J. / West Morris Mendham
Hranicka picked up where she left off in 2023 with another strong performance on Delaware’s defense. The 2023 CAA Defensive Player of the Year collected five ground balls and three caused turnovers in Friday’s 11-7 win at Lehigh to open the season. The caused turnovers moved Hranicka into a tie for third in program history with 86 for her career.
CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Alli Van Slyke, Drexel
Fifth Year | Defense | Fairhaven, Md. / Southern
Van Slyke’s career day anchored the Drexel defense in a season-opening victory. The fifth-year defender from Maryland notched career bests of five ground balls and three caused turnovers while Drexel held Binghamton to six goals in a 14-6 Saturday win in Vestal.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Steph Marszal, Delaware
Redshirt Freshman | Goalkeeper | Catonsville, Md. / Glenelg Country School
Marszal turned aside 14 Lehigh shots in Delaware’s 11-7 win Friday in Bethlehem. The redshirt freshman goalkeeper from Maryland made six of her stops in the first 15 minutes of her collegiate career as the Blue Hens defeated the Mountain Hawks to open the season for the second-straight year.
