🔼 Double It. Two Wildcats earned CAA football honors this week! Linebacker Richie Kimmel was named CAA Defensive Player of the Week after recording a career-high 10 tackles. He recovered a fumble, and then an interception to seal the win over No. 25 Youngstown State. Running back Isaiah Ragland earned Rookie of the Week, rushing for 65 yards and a touchdown in his collegiate debut.

 🔼 Lock Down. Women’s soccer goalkeeper Hannah Dickinson made the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the second time this season. She went 1-1 in the goal last week, helping lead the team to their third-straight clean sheet at Jacksonville. The Wildcats’ loss of the week was at No. 1 Florida State. They’ll return to the pitch tomorrow, hosting Wake Forest at 4 p.m.

🔼 Jam The Jake. Villanova volleyball returns home after spending the weekend in California. They’ll look for their first win of the season tonight when they host Binghamton at 7 p.m. It’s the student bonus lottery match, so come out and Jam the Jake!
