Field Hockey Defensive Player –  Utica
Nikki Kieffer, Senior, Defender – Roma, NY/RFA
 
Senior Nikki Kieffer led the Utica defense that allowed just one goal through three games last week. The Pioneers gave up just 16 shots on goal in the three games and had a shutout streak that lasted 170 minutes. Her stellar play helped lift Utica to a 4-1 upset victory over #3 Skidmore on Sunday. Kieffer also aided Utica as five Pioneer goals on the week were the direct result of her inserts off penalty corners.
