LEICESTER, Mass. – A dual-threat for the Hawks this week, junior Ashley Veillette (Danielson, Conn.) has been named the New England Collegiate Conference Player of the Week, for the week ending on March 28.

In addition to her NECC Honors, Veillette has earned her second-straight Becker Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performance over four games for Becker.
