Student-Athlete of the Week
Congratulations to senior Raquel Babeu of North Adams, Mass.,
and freshmen Sarah Costa of Tiverton, R.I. who were recognized for
outstanding play by the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC)
for their performances during the week of Sept. 22. Raquel was
named Player of the Week in tennis and Sarah was selected Rookie of
the Week in tennis for the third week.
Raquel returned after an injury to win her #1 singles match 6-0,
6-0 against NECC Mitchell College’s Jennifer Travella. The
Wildcats advance to 9-1 on the season and complete the first round
of conference play with a 3-0 NECC record.
Sarah, three-time NECC Rookie of the Week, still tops the
conference in doubles action with an undefeated record at the #3
spot with partner Cristina Ruiz. Again, the Wildcats went 2-0 for
the week, working on a nine-game winning streak. Costa was
undefeated in both singles and doubles action. She easily shut-down
her opponents St. Joseph College (Connecticut) and NECC foe
Mitchell College at #4 in singles and #2 in doubles play.
