ZEDIKER EARNS NSIC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS

Junior defender Reese Zediker (Caledonia, Ill.) was named the NSIC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 19 after helping anchor the defensive line in wins over Minnesota Crookston (2-0, Oct. 16) and MSU Moorhead (4-0, Oct. 18).

Zediker heled limit SCSU's opponents to just three combined shots on goal over the weekend while extending its shutout streak to three games and winning streak to four games. She played 90 minutes against Minnesota Crookston and 72 minutes against MSU Moorhead and scored a goal on a header off a corner kick for her second career goal against UMC.

TRAPINO KEEPS SCORING

Always known as an offensive threat, senior forward Linsey Trapino (Verona, Wis.) has continued to produce offensively to lead the way for the Huskies this season. She currently leads the team in goals (nine), points (21) and shots on goal (24) while ranking third, fourth and fourth, respectively, in those categories among NSIC leaders.

Trapino had a generational run of goal scoring, netting six goals in five games between Sept. 27 and Oct. 11. She is the first Husky player to score in five consecutive games since Alexander Pafko did so from Sept. 26 – Oct. 10, 2009 (seven goals). She set a new program record with her game-winning score against Concordia-St. Paul on Oct. 11, as her 12^th game-winning goal surpassed Pafko's 11 from 2008-10.

A three-time All-NSIC second team selection, Trapino ranks among SCSU's top-10 all-time in career goals (29 – third), assists (15 – sixth), points (73 – second) and game-winning goals (12 – first). Her nine goals this season rank eighth all-time among single season records, while her 1.40 points per game (9g/3gp) rank ninth and her 21 points are just outside the top-10.

Trapino's nine goals are a new career-high for a single season, surpassing her previous best of eight in 2025.

ALLEN'S ASSISTS

Junior midfielder Darby Allen (Minnetonka, Minn.) currently leads the NSIC in assists and ranked 14^th nationally with eight. She is one of three players in the NSIC to record six or more helpers this season. Allen had only recorded one assist through 40 games in two seasons in her freshman and sophomore campaigns before reaching eight this season.

With a four-point performance in a 4-0 win over MSU Moorhead (Oct. 18), Allen became the 26^th player in program history to score 25 points in their career. Allen's eight career goals and nine career assists move her into a tie for 25^th all-time on SCSU's career scoring list, matching Michelle Cornell's (11g/3a) total from 2012-15.
