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.
Caelen Connors
School: Southern Connecticut State
Sport: Lacrosse
Connors has been impressive for the Owls, posting a total of 27 saves in a 1-1 week. In a victory against Franklin Pierce, Connors recorded 10 saves. Against No. 14 Pace, she recorded a season-best of 17 saves. Connors leads the NE10 in saves percentage with 49% and is second in the conference in goals against average at 9.83.
Imani Mudiay
School: Adelphi
Sport: Track & Field
Mudiay competed in the Long Jump, Triple Jump and 100m last week. Her best performances came in the jumping events (11.14m and 4.96m). Her Triple Jump ranks first in the NE10 through two weeks of the outdoor season and set an Adelphi school record.
Jah'rece Matthews
School: Franklin Pierce
Sport: Track & Field
Matthews threw the discus and shot put last weekend, coming in second and third in each at FPU's second competition of the spring. His 45.72m discus throw leads the early results of the NE10 and set both a new PR and a new Franklin Pierce record.
John Carver
School: Adelphi
Sport: Baseball
Carver continues to dominate hitters. In Adelphi's game one win over Franklin Pierce on Friday, he struck out 12 Ravens while allowing no runs and only one hit. This marks the fourth consecutive start Carver has punched out 10+ batters.
Zach Eigenbrod
School: Bentley
Sport: Baseball
Eigenbrod tied a Bentley record by striking out 15 batters in a win over Southern Conn., and he came away with his first-career complete game in the process.
