SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. -- Shippensburg University senior forward McKenna Boyle was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Field Hockey Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by the league office.
 
Boyle had a hand in both Raider goals in a 2-0 triumph at No. 5 IUP Friday.
 
The senior attacker assisted on SU's breakthrough, a contender for goal of the season, in the 33rd minute.
 
The brilliant team sequence began with Juana Caracotche Picone (Mar del Plata, Argentina/Instituto San Alberto) delivering a long hit from midfield onto the tape of Boyle's stick in the circle. Boyle settled it nicely, quickly drawing two IUP defenders before laying the ball off to Fragassi for the opening score.
 
Three minutes later, Boyle rocketed home her fifth goal of the season off SU's only penalty corner of the match to double the margin.
 
The win clinched an 8-1 conference mark and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming PSAC Tournament.
 
The Raiders swept the conference's weekly awards for the second time in three weeks, as teammate Grace Meinke garnered PSAC Field Hockey Defensive Athlete of the Week. Meinke and Elaina Fragassi swept the weekly awards back on Oct. 27.
 
It is the first-ever conference weekly award for Boyle and the sixth overall for the Raiders this season. She was previously named National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division II Offensive Player of the Week on Nov. 12, 2025.
