The Week Of Zielonka

The senior forward had a pair of goals against the Bonnies and assisted the game winning goal against Hawks. His performances led to a pair of weekly accolades. His performances earned him Atlantic 10 Offensive Player Of The Week and UMass' Student Athletes Of The Week accolades. Zielonka ended last week by scoring the lone goal in a 1-1 tie against Fordham by netting an Olimpico.
Hughes' Place In The Record Books

Hughes' two tallies put him past Dave Siljanovski (1993-96) and is now two goals shy of Andy Bing (1984-87) and Clarence Simpson(1951-53) . Hughes' 11 goals this season lead the conference and is third in the nation.
