Black wins Ivy Rookie of Week in F. Hockey
Freshman defender Melissa Black was the recipient of the Ivy League's Rookie of the Week award for field hockey.
Black played an instrumental role in both of Penn's games last week, two victories. She helped the defense hold Rutgers without a shot in the first half in a 3-0 win. On Saturday, Black and the defense held Delaware to just seven shots overall in a 2-1 upset victory.
-- Harry Berezin Volleyball Rookie of the Week honors for Black
While freshman setter Linda Zhang has garnered most of the attention, classmate Laura Black walked away with Ivy Rookie of the Week honors in volleyball.
At the Penn/Sheraton Invitational last week, Black tallied 42 kills, two service aces, three digs and five total blocks as the Quakers swept all four games in the two-day tournament.
Black and Zhang have come in and immediately contributed to a young 2004 Quakers squad.
