Three more weekly awards from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference were bestowed to Goldey-Beacom with Ada Koksal (Istanbul, Turkiye) named Volleyball Rookie of the Week, junior Zayon Marsh (Maplewood, NJ) picked to Men's Basketball's Weekly Honor Roll and freshman Ogun Unal (Frankfurt, Germany) tabbed to Men's Soccer's Weekly Honor Roll.

Koksal recorded 71 assists over two matches. She had 39 on Saturday in Goldey-Beacom's 3-0 win at Bloomfield after getting 32 on Thursday at Georgian Court.

Stepping into the setter role and playing a big role in the offense, Koksal already ninth in team history with 882 assists. That is the fifth-best single-season mark in team history and has her third in the league.

Unal recorded two goals and three assists over three games. He had a goal and two assists Thursday in Goldey-Beacom's 6-4 victory at Wilmington. Unal then netted a penalty-kick goal in Sunday's CACC Tournament quarterfinal at Georgian Court.

Unal was a key player in helping the Lightning return to the CACC Tournament a second straight year. He ended tied for first on the team with 15 points, second outright with seven assists and tied for second with four goals.

Marsh averaged 16.5 points over two games on 12-of-23 shooting with 10 rebounds, six assists and three blocks. He scored 20 points Saturday against the District of Columbia in reaching 1,000 career points and also had 13 points Friday vs. D'Youville.
