Goalkeeper-of-the-Week
Alex Ignatowicz, So., Coventry (Edwin O. Smith)

 
Second-time weekly award-winner who earns a weekly honor for the fourth time in her career. Last year's LEC Goalkeeper-of-the-Year improved to 6-1-2 this year in recording her tenth career win in a  4-1 Little East Conference road win over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth on Saturday. Made a career-high 12 saves – eight in the second half when she protected the team's 3-0 halftime lead. In 673 minutes over ten appearances (nine starts) this year, she has a 1.34 goals-against average (third-best in the LEC) and .800 save percentage (fifth-best), averaging four saves per match with one full shutout. Halfway through the LEC regular-season schedule, Eastern shares first place with Western Connecticut, both teams with ten points. After visiting Worcester State University in a non-conference match Wednesday, Eastern (7-3-2, 3-0-1 LEC) closes the regular season with four straight LEC contests (three at home), beginning Saturday when it hosts the University of Massachusetts Boston at 1 p.m.

Rookie-of-the-Week
Allegra Copeland, Fy., Beaumont, CA (Beaumont)

 
Second-time weekly LEC selection this year. In a 2-0 week which included a Little East Conference home sweep of Western Connecticut, Copeland averaged 3.92 points with a team-high 23.5. She averaged 3.50 kills (21 in six sets) with a .283 attack percentage and also contributed two service aces, 14 digs (2.33 per set) and had a .933 reception percentage on 15 attempts. Against WestConn, she totalled a match-high nine kills, committed only one error on 12 reception attempts, and had a service ace and seven digs. In a road sweep of Mitchell College, she had 12 kills (three shy of her career-high) with a .375 attack percentage. Copeland ranks eighth in the LEC in attack percentage (.252), tied for 11th in points (143), and 12th in kills per set (2.30). Off to its best start after 17 games since 1998, Eastern (14-3, 3-0 LEC) is one of three undefeated teams in the LEC. The Warriors host 2024 LEC regular-season champion Plymouth State University Saturday at 2 p.m. in the first of three straight conference matches in a span of eight days.
