First year guard Alex Pezzella (Rockland, Mass.) garnered New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Rookie of the Week honors after having an explosive offensive week. Averaging 12.0 points per game, the South Shore native concluded the week recording a career single-game high 22 points non-conference Pine Manor College.

After helping guide the Nighthawks to a 68-65 victory over Green Mountain College to start the week, Pezzella went on an offensive tear in a mid-week contest against nearby Lasell College. Against the Lasers, the first year guard knocked down three-of-eight from beyond the arc to notch a career single-game high 14 points. However, it did not last for more than 48 hours as the Rockland native topped her single-game high dropping 22 points on the Gators while shooting 46.7% from the field and coming one rebound shy of her first collegiate career double-double.
