Offensive Player of the Week
Tracy Grollman, Eastern Michigan
Redshirt Junior, Annapolis, Md. (Annapolis Area Christian School)
Grollman led the way with team highs in goals (five), assists (three), and points (eight), while setting career-highs in both goals and points to help EMU to its program-record eighth win of the year and its second consecutive MAC Tournament berth.
One game removed from scoring six points at Kent State (April 13), Grollman posted eight to tie for the fourth-highest single-game total in program history and third-best in a MAC game at EMU. The five goals bettered her previous career high of four scored over two years ago, April 19, 2023, at Robert Morris.
Grollman's fifth and final goal, which game at 11:10 remaining in the fourth, gave the Eagles a 13-12 lead, a lead they would not relinquish, while standing at the second game-winning goal of Grollman's career and her second this year after scoring the winner against Detroit Mercy, April 6. With Eastern trailing, 7-5, she scored her first of the five goals, which also started a stretch of four consecutive goals scored by Grollman. The streak tied for the longest in program history and marked the second time in her career she scored four in a row with the first instance coming at Robert Morris, April 19, 2023.
Defensive Player of the Week
Annika Wozney, Eastern Michigan
Junior, Elk River, Minn. (Elk River)
Wozney had another solid day on defense as she recorded five caused turnovers and three ground balls. The five caused turnovers bettered her previous career high of four recorded earlier this year against Canisius (March 1) and tied for the single-game record at EMU with Sydney Lawrence, who accomplished the feat twice. The five caused turnovers also tie for the most by a MAC player this year and, coupled with the four recorded against Canisius, makes her the only player in the MAC to record four or more in two games this season.
She helped the defense hold Akron scoreless in the fourth to turn a one-goal deficit into a four-goal win, giving EMU its program-record eighth win this year.
Goalkeeper of the Week
Sydney Riker, Robert Morris
Senior, Vernon, N.J. (Vernon Township)
Riker had a standout performance with 13 saves and two ground balls in a triple overtime win against Kent State.
She was stout in net in the overtime periods, recording two saves and holding the Golden Flashes scoreless in the three extra frames.
