Spada was last week's honoree as well and shares this week's award with Southern New Hampishire's Laurie Boland, who also posted two game-winning tallies.

The senior tri-captain has posted five goals in her last five matches, while adding an assist.

She scored the game-winning goal on a penalty kick in the 82^nd minute against Stonehill College last Wednesday, and then boomed a 35-yard shot against #5 Franklin Pierce to give the Bulldogs their first-ever victory over the Ravens, 2-1 Saturday night at the Bryant Turf Complex.

The Bulldogs (5-0-1, 2-0-0 NE-10) will take on Bentley Tuesday in Waltham, Mass. and AIC Thursday night (7 p.m.) in Smithfield, RI.

This week's NSCAA Div. II poll will be released Tuesday.
