NEWTON, Mass. – Senior Midfielder Lexi Minicucci (Westfield, Mass.) has consistently been one of the most dominant players in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) and she showed it again during a historic week. After becoming the first Mount Ida field hockey player to reach the 100-point milestone, Minicucci has also been named GNAC Corvias Player of the Week, which was announced Monday afternoon.
By tallying two goals and two assists in the first game against Framingham State, Minicucci was able to secure her spot as the first athlete in the program's four-year history to score 100 points in a career.
She continued a fantastic week with a hat trick on Saturday in Mount Ida's 6-3 win over Rivier.
Minicucci leads the teams in goals (9) and points (22) and is second in assists (4) in this 2017 campaign.
After a few days of rest, the Mustangs (3-2) return to action tomorrow, September 19th at 7:00 PM as they host Bay Path on Alumni Field.
