NEWTON, Mass. Mount Ida sophomore Sarah Hemstock (Northford, Conn.) was named the Corvias Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Field Hockey Player of the Week.

Hemstock's recognition from the league office is the first award for any Mustang field hockey player this season.

The midfielder helped lead the Mustangs to a 3-0 week in which they upped their current win streak to three games in row. In an 8-0 win over visiting Bay Path, Hemstock collected two goals and added an assist (5 points), while scoring the lone and game winning goal against Elms late in the second half in a 1-0 non-conference victory. The Mustangs earned their first GNAC win this past Saturday when Hemstock found the back of the net in the 68th minute to conclude Mount Ida's undefeated week.

Hemstock is currently sitting in second place in the GNAC as she has amassed 10 goals on the season while also tallying five assists, good for 25 points on the season.

The Mustangs and Hemstock will once again play within the confines of Alumni Field this Wednesday when they welcome the Pilgrims of New England College with game time slated for 3:30.
