Frostburg State senior Spenser Love was named the CAC Offensive Player of the Week after notching eight goals and five assists in a 3-0 week for the Bobcats. Love opened the week with five points and Sewanee and added four-point efforts against both Wesley and Washington College. He was crucial in the Bobcats' second-half comeback against Washington College, recording two goals and two assists after halftime to lead Frostburg State to a come-from-behind 13-10 victory. 

Defensive Player of the Week

Christopher Newport senior Brandon Moloney was honored as the CAC Defensive Player of the Week after anchoring the Captains' midfield unit in victories over No. 11 Roanoke and Marymount. On Wednesday, he kicked things off by forcing two turnovers and grabbing a pair of ground balls during the 11-7 win over Roanoke. He was instrumental in a defensive effort that allowed just a single goal to the Maroons in the second half. On Saturday, he opened up CAC action with a career-high 10 ground balls during a 14-8 triumph at Marymount. That ranks as the second-highest single-game total by a non-faceoff specialist in CNU history. He also caused a pair of turnovers against the Saints while helping limit the opposition to only 10 on-target shots.
