BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week
Nicolas Fleuriau Chateau, R-Jr., F (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
Fleuriau Chateau registered his third brace of the season in a 2-2 tie against Creighton on Saturday. The Canadian striker moved into a five-way tie for first place in NCAA Division I with his 14 goals on the year. Of his 14 tallies, eight have come during conference play. He is also averaging a goal every 52.4 minutes this season.
 
BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
Makel Rasheed, Xavier, Sr., D (Rockville, Md.)
Rasheed led Xavier to a 4-0 win at UConn on Saturday as the Musketeers captured the Midwest Division and earned the No. 2 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament. He scored his second goal of the season in the 23rd minute, the game-winning goal in the match. He helped Xavier post its sixth shutout of the season, while allowing just five shots in the match.
 
BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week
Mats Roorda, Seton Hall, Gr., GK (Groningen, Netherlands)
Roorda was tasked with making five saves as part of the shutout in Seton Hall's 1-0 win over Providence to qualify for the BIG EAST Championship Presented by JEEP. The Pirates were forced to defend numerous dangerous chances from the Friars' attack, especially inside the final 20 minutes where Roorda made three of his saves to nurse the lead. Arguably his best save came in the 84th minute, when a shot looked ticketed for the far upper 90, but Roorda lunged to his left to make a diving save to keep the lead with Seton Hall.
