Christopher Newport's Syd Guidi was named C2C Offensive Player of the Week, while Salisbury's Kaitlyn Hunsinger claimed C2C Defensive Player of the Week honors.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Syd Guidi, Christopher Newport

Junior Syd Guidi pieced together a historic performance for Christopher Newport during the squad's 17-9 victory at Randolph-Macon on Wednesday. Against the Yellow Jackets, she dominated possession while collecting 13 draw controls, which equaled the second-highest total in school history.  Capitalizing on the extra possessions, she posted four goals and an assist. Overall, she became just the fifth player in program history with at least 10 draws and five points in a single game. Her performance on Wednesday also marked Guidi's third straight hat-trick and fifth consecutive multi-goal effort.
