New Haven, Conn.-Five student-athletes from various University of Bridgeport fall sports programs have earned recognition from Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) for their outstanding play in matches that took place during the first week of the 2022 season.
Sophomore Paola Hernandez (Bayamon, P.R.) earned CACC Women's Volleyball Player of the Week honors, as she averaged 4.25 kills and 2.62 digs per set for the Purple Knights. In four matches last week, Hernandez had at least 13 kills and had a pair of double-doubles. She reached a single-match, career best 21 kills twice last week versus Adelphi and New Haven, plus Paola chipped in a total of six service aces and six assists in the four matches.
From the UB men's soccer program, Clement Anet (Grad., Cosse le Vivien, France) was selected as the CACC Goalkeeper of the Week, and freshman Maximilian Kissel (Wiesbaden, Germany) has been named conference Rookie of the Week.
Anet went 1-0-1 on the week with a 1.00 goals against average making a total of ten saves in two matches with a .833 saves percentage. In a 1-1 tie with Southern Connecticut State on Sunday, the only goal he allowed came on a penalty kick.

From the Bridgeport women's soccer program, sophomore Clara Karlsson (Örnsköldsvik, Sweden) was chosen as the CACC Goalkeeper of the Week, and junior Leigh-Ann Ramsay (Bronx, N.Y.) earned a spot on the conference's Honor Roll.
