Montclair, NJ – Senior goalkeeper PHOEBE BLEDSOE and freshman AILEEN CAHILL each earned NJAC Weekly honors on Monday as they were named the Defensive and Rookie of the Week, respectively.

Cahill, named for the second time this year, provided the offense with her second goal of the season in the 26^th minute finishing off a pass from classmate LAUREN ERNST. Bledsoe, who also collected her second conference weekly award, made that one-goal margin hold up with five saves, including one with two minutes remaining to preserve the victory.
