Senior middle blocker Felicia Wachowiak (Milton, N.H.) was named as the ECAC and GNAC Offensive Player of the Week while freshman libero Jennelle Thompson (Rochester, N.H.) claimed GNAC Rookie and Defensive Player of the Week honors and was also chosen as the ECAC Defensive Player of the Week.

Wachowiak posted 42 kills - with just four errors - and an outstanding .514 attack percentage and 11 total blocks in three victories. She produced 15 kills with no miscues in 20 attempts in a 3-0 win over University of Saint Joseph and followed up with 20 kills and five block solos to help the Monks remain undefeated (14-0) with a 3-1 victory over Maine-Fort Kent.

Thompson posted 78 digs and a 7.80 digs per set average in a 3-0 week. The first-year libero broke the Monks' four-set digs record with 41 in a 3-1 triumph over Maine-Fort Kent and tallied 15 digs in a victory over GNAC-rival University of Saint Joseph. Thompson added 22 digs in a 3-0 victory over Daniel Webster College during the unblemished week.
