BOSTON, MASS – Bryant University women's soccer junior Caitlin Forshay and senior Colleen Ardolino earned America East weekly honors on Monday afternoon. Forshay was named Offensive Player of the Week, while Ardolino received Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Forshay recorded three assists in the Bulldogs' 5-0 victory over UMass Lowell, setting up Bryant's first three goals of the match. Her performance marked the first time an America East player recorded three assists in a single game since Bryant's Catherine Bean accomplished the feat in September 2024. Forshay's three assists also tied the program's single-game record. This is Forshay's first time receiving Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Ardolino played all 90 minutes in Bryant's shutout victory over the River Hawks, helping anchor a defensive unit that recorded its ninth shutout of the season and fourth in its last five matches. This is Ardolino's first time this season receiving Defensive Player of the Week honors.
