Butters notched two goals and an assist for five points during a 2-0-0 week for the 19th-ranked Penmen. Butters scored the game's only goal Wednesday in the 77th minute, as SNHU dropped Saint Michael's, 1-0.

Graduate | Goalkeeper | North Reading, Mass.

Hassapis helped Bentley get off to a 2-0 start in NE10 play with a pair of shutouts last week against New Haven and Southern Connecticut State. She didn't allow a goal in 180 minutes of action for a perfect 100% save percentage and 0.00 goals against average, while making five saves. The shutouts were the 12th and 13th of her career.

NE10 Rookie of the Week

Annabella Cole, Pace
Freshman | Goalkeeper | Selden, N.Y.

Cole put together a terrific stretch for the Setters in net last week. The freshman allowed just a single goal and made 13 saves in 175 minutes of action. Cole's 10 saves during a 1-1 draw at Franklin Pierce are the most by a Setter goalkeeper since 2017.
