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 17th Wolves of the Week in 2025-26 academic year and first in the calendar year of 2026 have been selected for their stellar performances on the basketball court.  Senior Nick Boyce (Jamaica, N.Y.) and sophomore Fatmata Barrie (Staten Island, N.Y.) were named Wolves of the Week.

Boyce registered 25 points, eight rebounds, six assists and a trio of steals in a 2-0 week for men's basketball.

He recorded a season-best five assists against Rhode Island College on January 8 and tied for his career-best.
