Arguably the toughest Player of the Week decision of the year for Ace in which any one of up to five Student-Athletes could have been selected. But Ace has opted to go with junior Angelo Bruno (Norwalk, Conn./Norwalk) from the Northeast-10 Champion baseball team as his Stonehill Student-Athlete of the Week after leading the Skyhawks to their third NE-10 Championship this past weekend. Bruno, named Championship MVP, hit .333 (5-for-15) as Stonehill posted a perfect 4-0 record at the tournament with two doubles, two home runs, four runs scored and six RBI.

Week Ending January 17, 2010
It was another 2-0 week for both the men's and women's basketball teams last week, but like last week, one individual's performance shined just above the rest. Ace has named junior guard Emily Rousseau (Biddeford, Maine/Biddeford) from the women's basketball team as his Stonehill Student-Athlete of the Week. Rousseau averaged 22.5 points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal in the Skyhawks two wins last week.

Week Ending January 10, 2010
While just men's and women's basketball continues to carry the Skyhawks banner through the mid-year break, Ace's choice for his Stonehill Student-Athlete of the Week wasn't without much debate yet again with both teams posting 2-0 weeks. However, the numbers were just too good to overlook as senior forward A.J. Rudowitz (Monroe Township, N.J./Monroe Township) is the choice for the second time this season after averaging a double-double for the Northeast-10 Conference-leading men's basketball team. Rudowitz averaged 21.5 points, ten rebounds, 1.5 blocked shots and 1.5 steals for the week, while shooting 58.1-percent (18-for-31) from the field, including 1-for-2 from three-point range.

women's basketball team as his Stonehill Student-Athlete of the
Week. McWhirter led the Skyhawks to a 2-0 week as she averaged 20

Diozzi also earned NE-10 Player of the Week honors today.
Week Ending December 6, 2009
Ace sounds like a broken record, but it was yet another tough week in chosing his Stonehill Student-Athlete of the Week. However, the edge goes to sophomore goaltender Tyler Jackson (Little Silver, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) after leading the ice hockey team to a pair of wins last week, setting a school-record in the process.

milestone accomplished with senior Claire Hourihan (East
Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville North) from the field hockey
team's selection as Stonehill's "Student-Athlete of the Week." Both
