On a weekly basis, the Commonwealth Coast Conference releases honors that include Player of the Week, Rookie of the Week and Honor Roll. After the game, match or meet, the head coach nominates a player in the respective category, and the information is sent to the CCC. The results are published and released to the conference teams. Endicott College is consistently represented in all three categories from week to week.
Receiving Rookie of the Week honors the first nomination round was freshman women soccer player, Caitlin D'Amario of East Longmeadow, MA. D'Amario scored her first collegiate goal in a win over Chowan, NC at the Wheaton College tournament, August 29th-30th. In a win over Nichols College, D'Amario was the sole scorer in the 2-1 victory. Also warranting the Rookie of the Week award was freshman field hockey player, Caitlin Murray of Templeton, MA. Murray scored the game-winning goal in Endicott's win over Salve Regina. Freshman Scott Baldelli of Marlborough, MA also merited Rookie of the Week honors for men's cross-country after his performance at the University of New England's Invitational. As the first runner to cross the finish line for Endicott, Baldelli competed in his second collegiate race ever, and placed 13th overall with a time of 31:11, helping the team to a 5th place finish.
Women's soccer would represent again when junior forward Leah Walters from Brookline, MA made the Honor Roll as a result of two goals and two assists over wins versus Salve Regina and Rhode Island College. Senior goalkeeper Mitch Donar from Bassalboro, MA earned honor roll recognition for his standout performance in shutout wins against Curry College and Salem State as Endicott went 2-1 on the week.
Two volleyball players have been recognized as standout players as well. Sophomore Killeen Ross and junior Susan Teta earned Honor Roll acknowledgements for their accomplishments thus far. Ross, from Ballston Lake, NY averaged 5.25 kills and 11 blocks in five matches. A Charlestown, RI native, Teta had 7 kills, 6 aces and one block in their victory over Clark University.
