Junior Amy Cronin earned NESCAC Player of the week honors for her dominating performance on the volleyball team. Helping the Jumbos to a 2-1 record in their previous NESCAC weekend, Cronin was a key player in the Jumbo's 6-4 NESCAC finish that will place them at the sixth seed in this weekend's NESCAC tournament at Amherst. During the weekend Cronin helped the Jumbos finish of both Bowdoin College and Colby with 11 and 12 kills respectively and 39 kills on the weekend. For the season Cronin leads the Jumbo team with an astounding 359 kills on the season, an average of 3.452 per game.
Adding his second goal of the season to his season statistics, senior Dave DeLuca was the first to draw blood in the Jumbos match-up against Middlebury on Saturday. Though the Jumbos were unable to close out the win against the Panthers, DeLuca's goal proved to be pivotal in preventing the Jumbos from falling further in the loss column. The tie placed the men in position to clinch the last spot in the NESCAC championship which will begin the following weekend.
