Each week during the academic year, the NE10 honors
Athletes of the Week for all of its 24 sponsored sports while they are in season. Faces in the Crowd shines a spotlight on outstanding on-field performances that didn't earn Athlete of the Week recognition, while also highlighting academic or community efforts from student-athletes across the league.
Below are this week's
NE10 Faces in the Crowd.
Isaiah Decias
School: Bentley
Sport: Football
The receiver had the best day through the air in the NE10 this season, hauling in seven grabs for 157 yards and two touchdowns. His day helped Bentley topple Saint Anselm and remain in the NE10 Championship hunt. Bentley hosts Assumption in the de facto conference title game on Saturday.
Jessica Evans
School: Mercy
Sport: Field Hockey
The grad student finished with a career-best 12 goals this season after a hat trick and seven points against STAC last Tuesday. The game marked her fourth multi-goal game this fall.
Milagros Zanatelli
School: AIC
Sport: Field Hockey
Zanatelli doubled her season output in goals last week, finding the back of the cage six times, going 3-3 on strokes as well. The week gives her 12 goals on the season and ranks fer fourth in the NE10. Zanatelli's four goals in AIC's win over Molloy marked a new single-game program record.
Ryan Rosario
School: Franklin Pierce
Sport: Women's Soccer
The rookie began starting for FPU at the end of October and then pitched a shutout, 2-0, with a season-best six saves against No. 15 Mercy last week. The win was FPU's best this season and moves the Ravens to 2-0-1 against ranked opponents.
Sasha Luzina
School: Bentley
Sport: Volleyball
Luzina has been the master of disaster behind the service line lately. The junior has served up 12 aces in the last three matches, including seven in just three sets at Bridgeport on Thursday. The total is the second-most three-set aces by an NE10 student-athlete this fall.
