For their performances last week, Malena Sabez and David Deputy are Miami's Athletes of the Week, presented by Skyline Chili for the week of October 26.
Female Winner: Malena Sabez
Malena Sabez scored three goals this weekend, netting two against Kent State in a 5-0 win and scoring the equalizer in a critical 2-1 win over Michigan. The goals brought her season total to a team-leading 13, which puts her at the fourth-highest scoring total in the MAC. Sabez also led the team in shots (11) and shots on goal (six), and was responsible for the game-winner over Kent State. A sophomore from Mendoza, Argentina, she is studying Liberal Studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science.
Male Winner: David Deputy
David Deputy set a new career high with four points Friday and added an assist on the overtime game-winner Saturday to help Miami to a home sweep of Alaska Anchorage. Deputy was involved in each of Miami's first four goals Friday night, reaching the four-point plateau in the second period to become just the fourth RedHawk in the last seven seasons with four points in a game. He finished with a career-best +4 rating and was named the First Star. Deputy led Miami in shots on goal Saturday and came up with a steal and an assist in overtime to lift Miami to its fifth-straight win. A sophomore forward from Gurnee, Ill., he is studying Sport Management in the College of Education, Health and Society.
