Ella Weidenhammer was named the MAC Freedom Field Hockey Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season after she made 24 saves in a 1-1 week for the Dutchmen that clinched a spot in the conference tournament. Weidenhammer began the week with her eighth shutout of the year, making two saves on the only two shots she faced in a defensive 1-0 victory over Misericordia that clinched the team a spot in the MAC Freedom Championships. The senior then made a career-high 22 saves in a tough 3-0 defeat at Stevens on Saturday in a battle for first place in the conference. Weidenhammer faced a season-high 25 shots against the Ducks, making eight saves in the first half before Stevens was able to score the first goal of the game. She added seven saves in both the third and fourth quarters.
