ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Oneonta field hockey senior captain Alexandra Howell (Holtsville, N.Y./Sachem East) continued to showcase her offensive talent and was honored with the SUNYAC Field Hockey Offensive Athlete of the Week for the week of September 28 to October 4, as announced by the conference Monday afternoon. It is Howell's third straight conference weekly award, as she finished the week with five goals and an assist for 11 points as she helped Oneonta go 2-0 with a win in SUNYAC play.

The Red Dragon center forward opened the week with four goals for eight points in the team's 8-2 road win at Castleton. In Oneonta's conference opener against Morrisville, she scored the first goal of the game, which was the game-winner, and totaled an assist as the Red Dragons defeated the Mustangs, 4-0. 

Howell currently leads the SUNYAC in goals (16) and points (38). The next closest to her is Morrisville's Lilly Bagg and Paige Jennings with seven goals, and Salisbury's Layla Kent with 19 points.

Oneonta (5-4, 1-0 SUNYAC) is back in action on Wednesday, October 7, for a non-conference road match at Skidmore at 4 pm.
