Mary Washington freshman Ben Cisse was named the CAC Offensive Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goals in both of the Eagles' CAC wins last week. Cisse broke the shutout just 21 seconds into the game in a 4-0 win over Southern Virginia on Wednesday, and followed that with an early assist and the game-winner in the 75th minute as Mary Washington topped 11th-ranked Christopher Newport on the road on Sunday night. The Eagles jumped into a tie for second place in the CAC standings with the victories.

Salisbury junior Drew Staedeli was selected as the CAC Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Sea Gulls to another 2-0 week, including two more shutouts to give Salisbury 10 total through 15 games. Staedeli made eight saves throughout the two matches. Against Marymount, he recorded five saves, two of which were crucial in the opening 10 minutes to keep the Saints off the board. Against Frostburg State, he tallied three saves to collect his ninth complete shutout of the season, moving his goals against average to 0.34, good enough for seventh best in the country.
