SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Shippensburg University junior Elaina Fragassi was named the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division II Offensive Athlete of the Week on Wednesday morning.
 
Fragassi scored all three of the Raider goals in a 2-0 week that was capped by a 1-0 victory on Saturday over No. 1-ranked Kutztown. In a 2-1 overtime victory Wednesday at Millersville, Fragassi scored a goal less than three minutes into the match before recording her league-leading sixth game-winning goal of the season with a golden goal on a penalty corner at the 1:33 mark of overtime.
 
It is the second award in the last two days for Fragassi, who yesterday was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Athlete of the Week.
 
It is the first national honor for Fragassi and the first time that a Raider has been named the NFHCA Offensive Player of the week since McKenna Boyle was recognized on Nov. 12, 2025.
 
Fragassi is the second Raider to receive a national honor this season: first-year goalkeeper Liv Schweighart was named the NFHCA Division II Defensive Athlete of the Week on Sept. 16.
