Andresen Named MASCAC Player of the Week

WESTFIELD, Mass. – Westfield State sophomore attacker Arianna Andresen (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) received conference honors this past week, earning the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week in a three-game stretch for the Owls.

Andresen finished the week with 11 points on eight goals and three assists, while also adding four ground balls and one caused turnover.

Andresen led the Owls in goals, assists and points in an 18-4 victory over Salem State, collecting four goals and three assists on the night. She also recorded a first-quarter hattrick in an eventual setback to the ninth-ranked team in Division III in Colby College on Sunday.

The sophomore attacker has gained momentum entering the back half of the season, tallying three or more points in four of her last six games which included a breakout nine-point effort in a win against Mass. Maritime.

Westfield State (8-6, 3-0 MASCAC) has just three games remaining in the regular season, all against MASCAC opponents and all from Alumni Field as the Owls begin that stretch tomorrow against Worcester State (7-6, 2-0 MASCAC) at 7:00 P.M.
