DANBURY, Conn. — Each week, WestConn Athletics selects one female and one male student-athlete as the Wolves of the Week, recognizing their outstanding performances in their respective sports from the previous week. The honorees are announced every Wednesday. The fifth Wolves of the Week in the 2025-26 year have been selected for their stellar performances on the field and the pitch. Junior defender Kaitlyn Biase (Nesconset, N.Y.) and first-year midfielder Matthews Rocha (Danbury, Conn.) were named as the Wolves of the Week.

Biase totaled three defensive saves in a 1-1 week for field hockey, including a pair in a 4-1 Little East Conference win over UMass Dartmouth on Saturday. The junior has racked up four defensive saves this season and is currently tied for fifth in program history with eight in her career.

Rocha netted his first two collegiate goals in a 6-0 shutout against non-conference opponent John Jay College on Wednesday. The rookie also scored the lone goal of the match in a league win over UMass Dartmouth on Saturday.
