Little East Sweeps ECAC Field Hockey Awards

CENTERVILLE, Mass. - The Little East Conference
swept the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III
New England weekly awards program this afternoon. Worcester State
College senior forward Megan Rosborough (Uxbridge,
Mass.) was selected the Offensive Player of the Week,
while Fitchburg State College sophomore Taylor Van Ahnen
(Seekonk, Mass.) was named the Goalie of the Week. The
Little East also swept the regional awards program for the
week ending Sept. 14.
Rosborough paced the Lancers attack with seven points,
including two game-winning goals, to lead Worcester
State to a 3-0 week. The Uxbridge, Mass. product figured in
both goals against Becker, scoring the decisive marker and adding
an assist, while handing out a pair of helpers in a victory over
Southern Maine. Rosborough capped her week with the game-winning
tally against Bridgewater State to stretch the
Lancers' current win streak to five. She has registered at
least two points in her past five matches, raising her season total
to 13.
Van Ahnen posted 26 saves and a pair of shutouts to backstop the
Falcons to a 2-0 mark this past week. The sophomore netminder from
Seekonk, Mass. stopped all 17 shots she faced against Framingham
State to make the second highest single-game save total in the
program's history and lead Fitchburg State to a 1-0
overtime victory. Earlier in the week, Van Ahnen turned aside all
nine attempts against UMass Dartmouth. The opposition has not been
able to solve Van Ahnen in the past 159 minutes and 37 seconds,
which has lowered her goals against average to 1.15.
Worcester State (8-3) returns to action at 7 p.m. on Oct. 9,
when the Lancers host New England College. Fitchburg State College
(6-4) will be in action two days later, when the Falcons
travel to Little East rival Brigewater State College (4-6).
