The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) has named senior Denise Landry (New Milford, Conn.) and freshman Claire Shepherd (Huntington Beach, Calif.) as this week's Corvias field hockey goalkeeper and rookie of the week respectively, as announced by the league office Monday afternoon.

This past week Landry recorded 17 saves, including tying her season high nine saves in the Lasers' 1-0 shutout versus Clark University.

Shepherd has made an immediate impact since arrive to campus, scoring five goals, and one assist in eight games played. This past week, Shepherd contributed two goals apiece in a 5-2 non-conference victory versus Salve Regina, and a 7-0 shutout victory on the road at conference foe Rivier.
