Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as the Northeast Credit Union Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.

Ali Savage, Sr., F, New South Wales, Orange, Australia, Field Hockey

The team's tri-captain had a stellar weekend with four goals and nine points, helping Dartmouth to a weekend sweep of Brown and Bryant. Against the Bears, Savage scored twice and assisted on another for a four-point performance, helping her reach the century mark in scoring with her 100th career point coming on the second-half assist. She added another pair of goals Sunday against the Bulldogs, including the OT winner. That game-winning tally was the 42nd of her career, moving her all alone into third place all-time in program history. For her efforts, the Ivy League rewarded Savage by naming her the Player of the Week for the seventh time in her career.
