FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Senior Catalina Ness and junior Paige Jackson earned weekly honors from the CAA for their performances on the field hockey pitch. Ness secured the Offensive Player of the Week while Jackson collected the Defensive Player of the Week as the duo helped the Fairfield University field hockey team post a pair of wins last weekend.

Ness scored a point in both of the team's wins, beginning with an assist in the team's 4-0 win over Hofstra University last Friday. She set up the team's second goal in the 36^th minute which represented her assist of the season. The midfielder followed up with a two-goal performance in the team's 6-0 decision over Lehigh University, scoring in the 35^th and 49^th minutes.

Jackson picked up a pair of clean sheets over the weekend, her first two solo shutouts this year. She also played a part in the team's other combined shutouts against Holy Cross and LIU. Against Hofstra, the junior made one save on the only shot taken by the Pride. She followed up with another save late in the game that preserved the clean sheet, facing two total shots during the game.

The Fairfield University field hockey team, under Head Coach Laura Gebhart, currently owns a 6-5 overall record and a 2-1 mark in CAA play. The team will continue conference action this weekend with a road trip to the College of William & Mary on Friday before finishing up with a non-conference game against VCU on Sunday.
