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.
ASHLEY LEWIS & GISELLE DeLUTRI
DeLutri made her collegiate debute against Bloomfield this week, striking out 15 batters in a thre-hit shutout. That was the second-best performance for her team that day, however. Ashley Lewis fired a no-hitter in the other game of the SCSU doubleheader. Lewis K'd 10 and walked one in the outing.
BELLA WILLIAMS
School: Franklin Pierce
Sport: Softball
An All-NE10 performer last season, Williams became the all-time leader in stolen bases this week for the Ravens. After a career-best 21 in 2023, Williams stole 16 last year and now has 58 for her career -- best in FPU history.
CRISTIAN REYES
School: Saint Michael's
Sport: Lacrosse
Reyes scored 8 goals at D'Youville last week on only 10 shots. The performance equals the best showing in a single game in the NE10 this season. Reyes has 13 goals and 17 points in three games this year.
JORDY RESETAR

Resetar is leading the Penmen with a .421 average, her team sitting at 4-2. She recently picked up her 100th career hit.
KATELYN HADDEN

Hadden is a known commodity in the NE10. She began her career at Franklin Pierce and then scored 59 goals in her first year with the Penmen in 2024. Last week Hadden scored six and seven goals in two games, the seven goals equaling the most in an NE10 game this year. She registered 10 points in both games.

The freshman dropped a hat trick on CACC champion Wilmington while making his first career start this weekend. He also registered a pair of assists for the victorious Setters.
NIKKI MOTTES

Mottes set a Pace record with 11 points against a ranked Seton Hill squad, scoring four goals and tallying seven assists. The performance is the best in the NE10 this spring.
PAUL GREENE
School: SNHU

Paul Greene did, quite literally, everything asked of him and then some in the Penmen's NE10 quarterfinal win. The forward scored 27 points, pulled down 11 rebounds, blocked four shots and stole the ball three times.
SEBASTIAN SIMONSON
School: Saint Michael's
Sport: Lacrosse
On this list for his 100th career goal last week, Simonson made a huge bid for NE10 Player of the Week this week with 8 goals and 15 points. The Purple Knights are 3-0 and received votes in this week's poll.
TYLER GOODE

The senior hasn't found goal yet ... but he kept finding people who found goal against Georgian Court. Goode had five assists in the game, most in the NE10 this season.
