SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. -- Shippensburg University junior forward Elaina Fragassi was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Field Hockey Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by the league office.
 
Fragassi netted three goals, providing all the scoring for the Raiders in a pair of victories – a 2-1 win at Millersville Wednesday and a 1-0 triumph over No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Kutztown Saturday afternoon at home.
 
Fragassi scored both SU goals, including the golden goal, in the Raiders' overtime victory at Millersville Wednesday.
 
The SU forward's rocket off a penalty corner was the difference against No. 1 Kutztown. The goal was her conference-leading sixth game-winning goal (ninth overall) this season and just the eighth allowed by KU through 15 games.
 
Fragassi's scoring helped the Raiders extend their current win streak to six games, with five of those wins coming against nationally ranked opponents.
 
The Raiders swept the conference's weekly awards, as teammate Grace Meinke garnered PSAC Field Hockey Defensive Athlete of the Week.
 
It is the first-ever weekly award for Fragassi and the fourth overall for the Raiders this season. Fragassi and Meinke join Juana Caracotche Picone (PSAC Athlete of the Week Oct. 20) and Liv Schweighart (PSAC Defensive Athlete of the Week Sept. 15) as weekly award recipients in 2026.
