PATRICK McGINNIS
Colorado College
Senior | Forward | Colorado Springs , CO / Air Academy HS
Senior forward Patrick McGinnis of Colorado College is the Association of Division III Independents Men's Soccer Player of the Week for the second time this season after posting a line that many players don't have in a full season. In a 2-0 week for the Tigers ( 9-2-1 ), McGinnis contributed to both victories, but none more than CC's 6-2 win over Concordia College (MN) on October 3. In the game, he set a career-high by scoring five goals, marking the fourth time this season he has scored at least a hat-trick in a single game. The Tigers trailed 2-1 in the game before tallying five unanswered goals. He also assisted in the winning goal in CC's 2-1 victory against Carleton College on September 30. He finished the week with 11 points on the five goals and one assist.
McGinnis has scored an amazing 20 goals this year, including four game-winners, and he has assisted on two other winning goals. He ranks tied for seventh on the school's single-season scoring list with nine games remaining, and is tied for eighth in career goals scored with 44.

Lizzelle Cintron of New Jersey City University is the Association of Division III Independents Women's Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season. In 17 games over four matches, she had 114 kills, 100 digs, 10 aces, and 10 blocks, while hitting .302. She averaged a remarkable 6.71 kills, 7.88 points, and 5.88 digs per game, adding 0.59 aces and 0.59 blocks per game. NJCU is 10-5 overall.
Cintron , the NCAA Division III leader in kills per game, had the top two individual offensive matches of anyone in Division III so far this season, and accomplished it in back-to-back contests. In recording her second 30-30 performance of the season on September 30, she crushed what was at the time a Division III national season high 34 kills and defended 30 digs against William Paterson University , while hitting .318. Amazingly, her next match was even better. In a victory over Hunter College , she pounded 38 kills—new NCAA Division III top season performance—defended 31 digs, had four aces, and three solo blocks. She hit .361 in the match and accounted for 45 points herself. It was her third 30-30 match of the season, and her 38 kills were the second highest single-match total in school history. It gave her 72 kills in consecutive matches. In her other two matches, she had 23 kills and 13 digs, followed by 19 kills and 26 digs in the championship match of the Hunter College Tournament.
