Pitman, NJ- Announced on Monday afternoon by the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) office, four Red Hawks across three sports earned NJAC Athlete of the Week accolades for their performances between October 12 and October 18.

Representing football was JAHMIR BEAL, who was named Defensive Player of the Week. Rounding off the list was TIAGO GRANADOS, who earned Rookie of the Week for men's swimming.
 
Whitehead continued her stellar rookie season with another strong week that helped Montclair go 3-0. She finished with 66 digs in three matches (6.00 per set), including 14 in a 3-0 sweep of William Paterson on Tuesday, 22 in a 3-0 sweep of Albright on Saturday, and 30 in a reverse sweep of Lebanon Valley on Saturday.
