EDISON, NJ - The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference announced that Niagara goalies, Felicia Grufman and Agnes Stenlund earned weekly awards for their performances last week. Grufman was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week, while Stenlund earned Rookie of the Week honors. 

Grufman posted her third clean sheet of the season in the Battle of the Bridge last Wednesday as the Purple Eagles and Golden Griffins played to a scoreless draw. Grufman made five saves, including multiple highlight reel stops to keep Canisius off the board. 

For Stenlund, this is the second consecutive week she has earned MAAC Rookie of the Week. The freshman posted a five save clean sheet as Niagara earned a 2-0 win over Saint Peter's on Saturday in Jersey City. The shutout was the second of her young career. 

Grufman leads the team and is seventh in the conference with a goals against average of 1.27. The sophomore has made a total of 20 saves for a .741 save percentage, good enough for eighth in the MAAC.
