Week 11 - November 17, 2025
NE10 Player of the Week
Hollyn Frano, Saint Anselm
Junior | Outside Hitter | Cave Creek, Ariz.
Frano delivered a record-breaking week for the Hawks. In Tuesday's sweep against Southern New Hampshire, Frano hammered 21 kills in just three sets, committing only three errors and finishing with an eye-popping .514 attack percentage. Her 21-kill outing tied the program record for kills in a three-set match, a mark achieved only twice before. It also stands as the most kills by any NE10 athlete in a three-set match since 2021. She closed out the week with 10 kills, a .280 hitting clip, and seven digs in Friday night's matchup with Southern Connecticut, completing a dominant two-match stretch as the Hawks head into the postseason.
NE10 Defensive Player of the Week
Perla Rosa, American International
Senior | Libero | Weston, Fla.
Rosa was her usual spectacular self in a 2-0 week for AIC. Across eight sets, she made 26 digs and 41 receptions. Despite being served at over five times per set on average, she did not get aced a single time, an impressive performance under pressure given that she was targeted more than anyone else. ?
NE10 Setter of the Week
Annaka Lindstrom, Franklin Pierce
Sophomore | Setter | Dover, N.H.
Lindstrom recorded a career-best 47 assists while adding 7 kills on 12 swings (.417) with just one attack error. She also committed only one setting error across four sets played.
NE10 Rookie of the Week
Jayne Hiatt, Franklin Pierce
Freshman | Outside Hitter | Granby, Conn.
Hiatt delivered a career-high 15 kills on 28 swings with just four errors the Ravens' road win at Assumption. She added 2 assists, 1 dig and 3 total service aces in the match while finishing with 18.0 points, the highest single-match total of her collegiate career.
