Week 5: Eagle of the Week - Jenna McCabe


After a victorious weekend in Buffalo, Jenna McCabe earns this weeks Eagle of the Week honors. This will be Jenna’s second time, as Eagle of the Week. Jenna had a very successful weekend in Buffalo recording 14 points with 75% shooting over the course of the weekend. But it is not all about the goals and assists. The coaching staff has continued to be impressed with Jenna’s strong leadership off the field. Seeing her help out and take care of the underclassmen, particularly the freshman, throughout the weekend was another indicator as to why she deserves this week’s honor. These small things certainly do not go unnoticed by her teammates and by the coaching staff. Congratulations to Jenna and the maroon team!

With only one more week of pre-season, Rekart has continued to push herself in on the field and in the weight room. Her presence on the offensive end and willingness to take chances on the defensive end has certainly impressed the coaching staff!
