Kean's Stoner, Rowan's Toll and Yoder Earn NJAC Field Hockey Weekly Honors

PITMAN --- The New Jersey Athletic Conference announced its field hockey weekly honors for the week ending Oct. 25.

 

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
ALI STONER • Kean University
Junior • Forward • Branchville, NJ/High Point Regional
 
Stoner picks up NJAC Offensive Player of the Week honors after scoring five goals in two conference games for Kean. The junior forward accounted for both of the Cougars’ goals in a 3-2 loss to Stockton. She followed with her third hat trick of the season, including the game-winner, in a 6-0 win over Ramapo. Stoner leads the NJAC with 46 points on 22 goals and two assists for the season and had scored at least one goal in all but three games. She also has eight multiple-goal games, and has tallied seven scores in the last three contests.
 
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
ELLA TOLL • Rowan University
Junior • Midfielder/Defender • Radnor, PA/Radnor
 
Toll has been tabbed NJAC Defensive Player of the Week after helping No. 10 Rowan hold opponents to just seven shots in a pair of conference wins. The junior was a key piece of a Profs defense that held No. 24 TCNJ to six shots in a 4-1 victory. That win clinched Rowan’s sixth consecutive NJAC regular-season title. Toll then contributed at both ends in a 3-0 win over New Paltz. Rowan held the Hawks to a single shot, while Toll assisted on the second goal and scored the third. It was her first goal of the season, and her two points were a career high. Rowan has won 14 straight games, improving to 14-3 overall and 6-0 in the NJAC.
 
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
CHLOE YODER • Rowan University
Freshman • Defender • Voorhees, NJ/Eastern Regional
 
Yoder claims NJAC Rookie of the Week after delivering the game-winning goal in No. 10 Rowan’s 4-1 win over No. 24 TCNJ, a victory that clinched the Profs’ sixth consecutive NJAC regular-season title. The freshman defender converted a penalty stroke in the 36th minute to give Rowan a 2-1 lead it would not give up. It was the first game-winning goal of her career. Yoder also helped anchor a Profs defense that allowed just seven shots in two conference wins: six to TCNJ and one in a 3-0 shutout of New Paltz.
