Christopher Newport freshman Courtney Fiest was named the CAC Offensive Player of the Week after scoring both game-winning goals for the 10th-ranked Captains last week in CAC wins over No. 19 Mary Washington and Wesley. Against UMW, she drove home the game-winning goal off a corner with less than three minutes left in regulation to seal the victory. Three days later, she came back with the first multi-goal outing of her career against the Wolverines. She notched her second game-winning strike of the week after opening the scoring in the first half before capping things off with another dart off a corner attempt late in the second stanza to lock up the 3-0 win.

On Saturday, Morrissette helped the York defense to a shutout over St. Mary's in CAC action, registering a defensive save in the 5-0 victory. Morrissette now has 16 career defensive saves and ranks third on York's all-time list, just three back of school record holder Kari Moyer.
