The sophomore striker opened up the week with both goals in a 2-1 win over Pace, scoring the equalizer and the game winner which came with under three minutes remaining. She again struck with the game-winner against Saint Anselm when she connected with rookie Caitlin Toom with just over15 minutes to play. Blonde also recorded an assist against the Hawks, aiding Vickie Fleming in the first of two goals for her in the conference battle. For the season, Blonde leads the team with four goals and an assist for nine points.

Martikainen attempted one shot on the week as well.

NE10 Goalkeeper of the Week

NE10 Rookie of the Week

Madison Apicella, Adelphi
Freshman | Midfield | Holbrook, N.Y.

With her team trailing in the final minutes at Southern Connecticut in a battle of the league's two leading teams at that time, Apicella pivoted from 20 yards out to unleash the shot that leveled the game with 5:01 to go, and forced a 1-1 draw. She also sent in a cross that led to the game's opening goal Saturday in a 2-1 win over No. 8 ranked Southern New Hampshire. Apicella finished the 1-0-1 week with three points (one goal, one assist).
