10443
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.

Faces in the Crowd is presented by Athletic Solutions, a national leader in NIL fan engagement and e-commerce technology, collaborating with colleges and universities to bring NIL Locker Rooms to life. Their platform simplifies NIL opportunities, providing student-athletes with the tools and exposure needed to thrive in the evolving landscape of college athletics.

Below are this week's NE10 Faces in the Crowd.

Faces in the Crowd

Top performances you need to know across the NE10

Javier SOLA MARTINEZ

American Int'l  Soccer  La Vall d’Uixó, ES.

Despite falling in the NE10 Championship Final, AIC received a standout performance from its graduate keeper.  Sola Martinez made a season-high 12 saves for the Yellow Jackets.  It was a career-high performance for the goalie and his fourth double-figure save outing at AIC.

Lyndsay TROISI

SCSU Field Hockey  Salem, N.H.

Troisi took a pair of losses, but turned in a pair of gutsy performances. Against SNHU in a 1-0 loss, Troisi stopped 8-of-9 on goal while the Penmen's lone goal came off a shot that Troisi initially stopped, but trickled past for the score. Against Assumption, Troisi had a career-best 21 saves. Troisi stopped all 10 of the Greyhounds' shots on goal in the first half and made another 11 in the second half. 

Mar BUSQUETA

American Int'l  Field Hockey  Matadepera, ES.

Busqueta saved her best for last, scoring a goal and assisting on two more as AIC defeated Saint Michael's in the regular season finale, 3-2.  The win clinched a postseason berth for AIC for the first time in 12 seasons.  The performance marked four of her nine points for the season.

Cami AYANDELE

Bentley   Soccer  Louisville, Colo.

Ayandele scored the game-winning goal in both the NE10 Championship Semis and Finals last week, clinching the first league title for the Falcons since the '90's.  Ayandele's efforts earned her D2CIDA National Player of the Week honors.

Assumption DEFENSE

Assumption   Football   Worcester, Mass. 

The Greyhounds held FPU to 30 yards of total offense, including -20 rushing yards in a 56-12 win.  The Hounds held the Ravens to 1-of-12 on third down and capped the game with a 28-yard Dante Vernieri pick six.  The Greyhounds also scored twice on special teams with a PAT return and kickoff run-back.
