MARLBOROUGH, Mass.— After extending her hat trick streak to a remarkable four games, Babson College junior
Penny Baroni (Dennis, Mass.) was named New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Field Hockey Offensive Athlete of the Week for the second week in a row Monday morning.
Baroni continued her torrid pace with three goals and one assist for seven points in Saturday's 9-0 rout of Wheaton. The junior midfielder needed just 23 minutes to record her fourth consecutive hat trick and then assisted on another second quarter goal to help the Beavers earn a share of its 11th consecutive NEWMAC regular season title.
A 2025 second team All-America and first team All-Region and All-NEWMAC, Baroni has produced career-highs of 23 goals, nine assists for 55 points in 19 games this season. She leads the NEWMAC in goals and points and ranks third in assists as well as eighth in Division III in both goals per game (1.21) and points per game (2.89).
Baroni has also moved up on Babson's single-season records list and now ranks sixth in goals and fifth in points. With career totals of 39 goals, 17 assists and 95 points, she is tied for 13th in goals and 15th in points on Babson's all-time scoring lists.
Babson (13-6, 8-1 NEWMAC) earned a first round bye in this week's NEWMAC Tournament and will host a semifinal contest against either Wellesley or Springfield on Thursday at 6 p.m. at MacDowell Field.
