FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Freshman Natasha De Pree earned the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Women's Swimming Rookie of the Week award for her performance against Fordham in last weekend's dual meet. The award was De Pree's fourth weekly honor from the conference, winning the rookie award three times and swimmer of the week once.

De Pree picked up two individual freestyle wins, taking the top spot in the 500 (5:02.15) and in the 200 (1:53.58). She also finished second in the 100 free by completing the distance in 53.61. She was also a participant in the 400 free relay events, helping the Stags take third place in the event with a time of 3:38.70.

The Stags will compete next when they travel to Boston University for the Terrier Invitational from November 21-23.
