Both graduate setter Alice DiFrancesco from Women's Volleyball and junior goalkeeper Leopold Dufaut from Men's Soccer were CACC Honor Roll recipients. 

Aryn Nisbet - Goalkeeper of the Week - Women's Soccer
Nisbet finished the week with 17 saves for Post, going 0-1-1 in net for the Eagles. Nisbet tied her season high in saves with 11 over the weekend against Wilmington University in a 1-1 tie after making six against Queens College on the road during the week.

Kristina Peric - Player of the Week - Women's Volleyball
Peric led Post with 55 kills, along with a .218 attack percentage with only 16 errors during a 2-1 week for the Eagles. Peric also had 34 digs and seven block assists as part of a 61.5-point week for her, helping Post take down Georgian Court University and Dominican (N.Y.) in conference play.

Alyssa Groves - Defensive Player of the Week - Women's Volleyball
Groves had another big week for Post with 79 digs across 11 sets played in a 2-1 week for the Eagles with conference wins against Dominican (N.Y.) and Georgian Court University. Groves averaged 7.18 digs per set, while adding on 11 assists and seven service aces along the way.
