TROY, N.Y. - The Liberty League champion field hockey team swept the weekly Liberty League awards and four more Union College student-athletes were named to the honor roll for the week ending Sunday, November 8.

Field Hockey Offensive Performer of the Week: Rowan Dapson
Dapson was named Most Outstanding Player of the Liberty League Championships after scoring two goals with an assist for a career-high five points in Sunday's 4-2 championship game victory over #20 Rensselaer. The junior back scored the first goal of the game late in the first quarter and assisted on the eventual game-winning tally in the third period before putting the game away with a fourth-quarter insurance goal.

Field Hockey Defensive Performer of the Week: Tess Parker
Parker made 13 saves in two games to help Union capture its first Liberty League championship over the weekend. The junior made seven stops, including one in the first overtime period, as Union came back to defeat Vassar 4-3 (2OT) to reach the championship game, and then added three saves in both the second and fourth quarters as the Garnet Chargers knocked off top-seeded #20 Rensselaer on Sunday to win the title.

Field Hockey Rookie of the Week: Nadia Michienzi
Michienzi started both games on defense for Union in the Liberty League Tournament this weekend, playing all 131 minutes as the Garnet Chargers captured their first Liberty League title. In Sunday's title game against #20 Rensselaer, the first-year had a key defensive save in the second quarter to keep the visitors ahead.

Honor Roll Mentions:

Women's Basketball: Ryley Tate-Padian
Tate-Padian was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Rebecca Martin Memorial Tip-Off Tournament over the weekend, helping Union to a split of two contests. She scored a game-high 17 points in the season-opener against Catholic on Friday evening, hitting 7-of-16 shots from the field, and then went 6-of-6 from the line on the way to a game-high 13 points in a consolation-round victory over Wilson on Saturday afternoon.

Women's Soccer: Maya Koster
Koster finished her season with a pair of shutouts in the Liberty League Tournament first-round and semifinals. She made two saves in Tuesday's 2-0 first-round victory over St. Lawrence and backstopped a defensive unit that kept #15 Vassar off the scoreboard for 110 minutes in Friday's semifinal, making three saves and stopping one penalty kick as the Garnet Chargers fell in kicks to the eventual conference champions.

Men's Swimming & Diving: Troy Luley
Luley made a big impact in Union's wins over New Paltz (150-80) and William Paterson (161-81) on Saturday with three individual event victories, and also left his mark on Elting Pool with a pair of facility records. The New Hartford, N.Y. native posted the fastest 100 and 200 breaststroke times in the history of New Paltz's pool, winning both events with times of 58.88 and 2:10.29, respectively. He also won the 400 individual medley after touching the wall in 4:30.29. All three of his performances rang in as season-best times as well.  His 2:10.29 in the 200 breast is the third-fastest time in the Liberty league this season.

Women's Swimming & Diving: Chloe Matthews
Matthews led Union to a pair of wins over New Paltz and William Paterson on Saturday, winning her two individual events and anchoring Union's first-place 200 medley relay. Her final push in the relay helped Union to a season-best time of 1:58.61, and she also had a personal season-best during the 100 freestyle, going 55.34 while touching the wall first. Matthews also won the 100 butterfly, clocking in at 1:02.44.
