The October athlete of the month is Regina Slonkosky (Minster, OH). Her hometown is Minster, Ohio and she is currently a sophomore at Holy Cross. The best way to describe Regina would be: a true competitor. As part of the women's golf team, she displays both integrity and  enthusiasm for the sport.       

 

At the CCAC conference golf tournament on October 3rd, Regina was struggling with the effect of the weather conditions and hitting just over par on some holes. With a smile still on her face, she placed third in the tournament. Her score was 84 and this is currently her best score of the year. Looking forward to the spring season, Regina will continue to improve her game.

The September athlete of the month is Ashleigh Lemp (Osceola, IN). In two starts for the women's soccer team, Lemp has already recorded 28 saves.         

Most recently she stepped up against St. Mary's college as the Saints were forced to play with only 8 players in the second half. In her first start of the season, she had 17 saves in 90:00 minutes of action.

"Ashleigh Lemp represents everything we want from a women's soccer player at HCC," said Head Coach  Carlos Reynolds. "Her commitment to built a strong soccer program, her work ethic, dedication on and off the field, and knowledge of the game has no comparison. Since the start of our season, I have been approached by coaches from other teams, friends, fans in general to tell me what a great goalie she is. Ashleigh has earned the respect of her soccer mates and her leadership has taken this team to the direction we want."

Congratulations on a great start to the new year!
