NESCAC Release
HADLEY, Mass. - After compiling four goals and one assist during a 2-0 NESCAC week for the No. 18-ranked Williams College field hockey team, senior captain
Kiki Higgins was named NESCAC Player of the Week for the third time in her collegiate career Monday by the conference office.
"Kiki has been absolutely ferocious on offense, relentless, fearless and impossible to contain," said head coach
Alix Barrale. "She is a menace in the critical scoring area and has an uncanny ability to rise in big moments. No one is more deserving of this recognition."
Higgins scored twice, while also tallying the winning goal in a 3-2 shootout decision, for the Ephs (8-6, 6-3 NESCAC) during a 4-3 victory at No. 7 Hamilton Wednesday evening in Clinton, New York. The Weston, Massachusetts, native found the back of the net twice and added an assist during a 7-1 triumph at Connecticut College Saturday afternoon in New London, Connecticut.
Higgins has recorded at least one point in 10-of-14 games and four multi-goal efforts this season, as she ranks second in the NESCAC in goals (12) and points (28). On Sept. 17, she recorded her first collegiate hat trick during a 6-0 victory over Smith at Williamson Field.
The Ephs will compete against No. 10 Middlebury Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Williamstown, Massachusetts, during the regular-season finale for both teams, as home-field advantage during the quarterfinal round of the NESCAC Tournament is on the line.
