Kayla McKeveny of Holbrook, NY named the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Women's Field Hockey Player of the Week honors for fall 2016 season.

Both players helped lead the Hawks (6-2, 3-0 SUNYAC) to a 2-0 conference weekend, defeating Brockport (W, 6-1) and SUNY Geneseo (W, 5-1) on the road.

McKeveny notched a pair of goals at Geneseo on Saturday and during the match, she passed Danielle Conklin '14 for second on the program's all-time goal scoring list.
