QBSN Athlete of the Week: Megan McCreedy

By Marty Joseph, QBSN Staff Writer

This week’s QBSN Athlete of the Week honors are awarded to Senior Megan McCreedy (White River, South Africa) of the Field Hockey team.

McCreedy broke the single season and career assist records in school history over the weekend. Her assist on Kim Cunniff’s goal vs. Bryant was the 13^th of the season and 25^th of her career.

McCreedy recorded three assists in Quinnipiac’s 6-1 win at Siena this past Friday. Her three assists gave her 12 on the season and 24 in her career to tie each of the single season and career assist records. Last Sunday on Senior Day, McCreedy’s assist on Kim Cunniff’s goal broke the records for assist in both categories and helped lead the Bobcats to a 2-0 win over Bryant.

Following the 2-0 win over Bryant, McCreedy commented on breaking the records, “I mean it feels great to break a record obviously, especially because I’m graduating but its with assists so I have to give it to my teammates they help me out a lot in this one. It’s all up to them to put it in the cage and I just help them along with it.”

This team-first mentality by McCreedy has been instrumental for the Bobcats all season and has been key in the team’s success. The Bobcats are 8-1 this season when McCreedy records a point and will count on McCreedy as their final regular season game this Friday holds playoff implications.

“We want to end the season of on a good note and coming off with a win is obviously the best way to end our last game of the regular season”, said McCreedy when asked about the upcoming regular season finale against Sacred Heart.

With a win on Friday, the Bobcats will clinch the 3^rd seed in the NEC tournament that will take place on November 4^th and 5^th. The Bobcats will look for McCreedy and the other seniors to lead the way to victory as they have done all season.
