OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Sophomore | Forward | London, England
Bagshaw scored a pair of goals in just over 10 minutes as Charleston won its first CAA game of the season 3-1 over William & Mary. The English forward’s two tallies lifted him into a tie for the team lead with four, and put him in sole possession of the top spot on the Cougars with 10 points.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Heidar Hermannsson, Stony Brook
Freshman | Goalkeeper | Reykjavik, Iceland
Hermannsson’s first career shutout lifted the Seawolves over Northeastern 2-0. The first-year shot stopper posted four saves to earn the road win and has his first clean sheet in five appearances for Stony Brook.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Marco Pantano, Monmouth
Freshman | Defender | East Rockaway, N.Y. / Lynbrook
Pantano led from the back, contributing to Monmouth’s 2-0 victory over Temple, and extending the Hawks’ winning streak to three straight. Making just his second-career start, the Lynbrook alum limited the Owls to five shots on goal. The goose egg was the second straight for Pantano and his fellow defenders, while he also scored his first career goal in the win.
