(LATHAM, N.Y.) – The United East has announced it Player of the Week awards and Wilson's
Kate Seymour (Jr., Churchton, Md. / Southern) and
Jade Syto (Jr., Newark, Del. / Christiana) both received honors to sweep the accolades for the Phoenix. The duo were instrumental in the Blue and White posting back-to-back big victories on the road during the past week with triumphs at Eastern Mennonite and Keuka.
Seymour had a week she won't soon forget as she helped lead the Phoenix to a pair of wins where she scored five goals and an assist. In the first game against Eastern Mennonite, Wilson exploded for five goals in the second half to go on to win. A similar situation followed on Saturday as the Phoenix traveled to Keuka. This time after a scoreless first half, Seymour scored the haul with four goals in the third quarter alone. However, she wasn't done and assisted on
Mia Brunet's (Sr., Waynesboro, Pa. / Waynesboro) goal in the fourth for another 5-0 victory. The four goals against the Wolves are tied for the fourth-most in a single game in Division III this season.
This marks the first weekly United East award for Seymour of the season and her third overall (10/7/24, 9/19/23).
Syto anchored a defense that kept both teams the Phoenix competed against off the board, helping improve Wilson to a record of 3-5 on the year. The Newawk, Del. native helped keep Eastern Mennonite to just two total shots (neither on goal) before besting that against Keuka as they kept the Wolves to just a single shot. All three Phoenix wins this season have come with a shutout attached.
This is Syto's first ever weekly award of her career.
Seymour, Syto and the Phoenix will be back in action on Saturday as they host Cedar Crest in the United East opener.
