The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) has announced its Athletes of the Week selections in the sports of men's & women's soccer, cross country, men's golf, women's volleyball, and women's tennis for the period running from September 16-22, 2024.

Men's Cross Country: PS-Behrend SO Lucas Boyd earned a 58th-place finish (out of 261 runners) for the Lions at the Rochester Yellowjacket Invitational, running a time of 27:43.4. 

Women's Cross Country: Alfred State SO Oli Kraynik led the Pioneers at the University of Rochester Yellowjacket Invite, as she finished in 103rd place out of 231 runners with a time of 25:46 in the 6k race.

Men's Golf: Pitt-Greensburg JR Zach Abdallah finished as the top individual in both events the Bobcats competed in this week. On Monday, he won the Saint Vincent Invite on a walk-off chip in to win a tiebreak, finishing with a 76 on the day. He then took the top spot at the NCAA Region V Showcase this past weekend, with a two-round total of 143. He has been the Bobcats' top finisher in every event this season.

Women's Tennis: Pitt-Greensburg FR Nancy Jiang picked up four wins over three matches this past weekend. She went 4-0 in AMCC play, with matches against Carlow and Penn State Behrend, including a thrilling three-set tiebreak win against PS-Behrend.

Men's Soccer (Offensive): Mount Aloysius F Gonzalo Terricabris sparked the Mountie offense to a 2-0 week, extending their winning streak to three games. Against Saint Vincent, he came off the bench and scored the Mounties' first goal of the game, on their way to a 3-0 victory, thus being the game-winning goal. Terricabris followed that up, on Saturday against W&J, scoring in the sixth minute on a penalty kick, to give the Mounties a very early lead. The lead would hold, as the Mounties won 3-0, giving him another game-winning goal. Terricabris is now tied for the lead in the AMCC with two game-winning goals on the season.

Men's Soccer (Defensive): Mount Aloysius GK Sam Denchfield was a massive piece of the Mounties' success in a 2-0 week, with two shutouts in goal. On Tuesday, Denchfield earned the shutout victory against Saint Vincent, making three saves in the 3-0 victory. The shutout was his first of the season. The week would only get better as he followed that with another shutout, on Saturday, against W&J. The sophomore stopped four shots by the Presidents in another 3-0 victory, extending the Mounties winning streak to three games. Denchfield now ranks in the AMCC top five in saves, save percentage, and goals-against average.

Women's Soccer (Offensive): PS-Behrend F Trinity Prestash tallied three goals in a pair of wins for the Lions. She netted two goals, including the game-winner, in a 3-1 win against Fredonia. She also tallied the first goal in a 2-1 decision against Grove City.

Women's Soccer (Defensive): Pitt-Greensburg D Julia Rowe started two games for the Bobcats in which Pitt-Greensburg didn't give up a goal and went 2-0. Rowe played the full 90 in both games.

Women's Volleyball (Offensive): PS-Behrend OH Cadence Jones was named to the Oswego All-Tournament Team for helping the Lions post a 2-1 record over the weekend. She had double-digit kills in each match, registering two double-doubles in the two wins. Jones posted a season-best 24 digs and 15 kills in a four-set win over Utica. She also added seven blocks and two aces, while hitting .319 in three matches.

Women's Volleyball (Defensive): PS-Altoona L Anna Batrus racked up a team-high 72 digs and averaged 5.54 digs per set in a 2-2 week of non-conference matches against Lycoming, Penn College, Bethany, and W&J.
