OXFORD, Ohio -- For her performance last week redshirt sophomore field hockey midfielder Mariona Heras is Miami's Athlete of the Week for the week of August 24-30.
After two straight years of suffering season-ending injuries in the preseason, Heras has been outstanding early on for the RedHawks. Friday saw her receive no points but her play was noticeable as she solidified a back end that played admirably against the seventh-ranked Great Danes of Albany. Her performance Sunday however was even more dominant. The Terrassa, Spain native had a hand in four of the eight Miami goals. In total, she gathered two goals and two assists for six points on the way to the Red & White's 8-0 victory over Saint Louis.
This is the first time this season and first time in her career that Heras has been named Miami's Female Athlete of the Week.
There is no Male Athlete of the Week this week due to no men's team's being in action.
The next Miami Athletes of the Week will be announced Monday, September 7.
