Offensive Player of the Week
Carl Haworth, Niagara University
Sr., Forward, 5-9, 170, Barrie, Ont./Barrie Central

Haworth had a six-point weekend as the Purple Eagles went 1-0-1 in two matches. He found the back of the net twice and recorded two assists in games at Cornell and Hartwick. Haworth played a role in three goals in Niagara's 3-1 win over Cornell on Friday night. He assisted on the first two goals, and then sealed the game with a goal in the 85th minute.  On Monday, Haworth scored the game-tying goal with a far post finish in the 78th minute.

Defensive Player of the Week
Jack Binks, Siena College
Fr., Goalkeeper, 6-1, 193, Darlington, England/Hurworth School

Binks was masterful between the pipes last week for the Saints and earned a pair of victories over foes from BCS conferences in triumphs over No. 15 Ohio State and Syracuse. Against the Buckeyes Monday, Binks made two saves in posting his first collegiate shutout and guiding Siena to its first ever win over a ranked opponent. On Sunday, he added five more saves as the Saints topped Syracuse 2-1 in overtime. In three games last week, Binks posted a 2-1 record with 10 saves, a 0.65 goals against average and .833 save percentage. 

Rookie of the Week
Ignacio Maganto, Iona College
Fr., Forward, 5-7, 140, Madrid, Spain/Nstra. Sra. del Pilar

Maganto, a freshman forward, scored the game-winning goal in Iona's 2-1 victory at New Hampshire. The deciding tally was the first of Maganto's career, and he also added five shots with four shots on goal in the match. Maganto is one of three freshmen to start in both of Iona's contests this year.
