Field Hockey’s Cusack and Jonaitis Earn Weekly Honors
St. John Fisher freshman Elizabeth Cusack and Hartwick senior Cassie Jonaitis were named the Field Hockey Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week for the Empire 8.
Cusack scored a goal and added an assist in Fisher's 2-1 win over defending Empire 8 champion Washington & Jefferson. Fisher, playing in just its second season as an NCAA program, is 2-1 in the E8 and 4-5 overall. The Cardinals have won three straight games and have already doubled their win total from last season.
Fisher will return to action at 5 p.m. on Tuesday when it travels to St. Lawrence University.
Jonaitis scored once and assisted on another goal in Hartwick’s 3-2 overtime win over Elmira on Saturday. She was part of a staunch defensive effort that limited the Soaring Eagles to just five total shots.
Hartwick (4-3, 2-0 Empire 8) hosts Ithaca on Wednesday at Wright Stadium. Game time will be at 4 p.m.
