Nicole Crane

Clara Saade

Saddle Brook senior

Saade backstopped the Falcons to three wins last week by allowing only one goal. She made 10 saves in total, including the 100th of her career.

Isabella Zingarelli

Old Tappan junior

The Golden Knights cruised past Demarest and Indian Hills last week with Zingarelli eclipsing her scoring output from all of last season. She racked up five goals up front and added one assist.

Teddy Handler

DePaul sophomore

Handler helped the Spartans pull off the upset of the opening week by making seven saves in a 1-0 shutout win last Monday over then-No. 4 Bergen Catholic. He made two stops in another clean sheet against Paramus Catholic on Thursday.

Steven Gifford

Pascack Valley senior

Gifford carried his team's offense in wins over Teaneck and Fair Lawn. In those matches, he chipped in five goals and two assists.

Adrian Qira

Paramus senior

Qira has re-established himself as a prolific scorer after missing his sophomore year with a torn ACL and parts of junior year with injury. The Spartans' forward had five goals and one assist in two games last week.

Jeremy Villegas

Hawthorne senior

Villegas did not allow a goal in back-to-back divisional wins for the Bears. He logged four saves in a 6-0 victory over Eastern Christian and eight in a 2-0 win over Butler.
