The Pirates Athletes of the Week for the week ending October 11 is here. Check out which athletes take home the honor this week.

Girl’s Tennis: In a week in which the Pirates won their opening-round playoff match and then fell in the second round, the athlete of the week honor goes to two recipients; Jenna Cuccinota and Tori Robinson. The first and second singles players won both of their playoff matches for the Pirates against Barnegat and Delsea.

Girl’s Volleyball: The honor for the girl’s volleyball team goes to Andrea Benites. Benites took home another Best Libero award, her second this season, at the Burlington County Open hosted by Moorestown High School on Saturday.

Girl’s Soccer: In a week in which the girl’s soccer team went 2-1, the honor is bestowed upon Fiona Flynn. Flynn scored a total of three goals this week, with two of them coming in the Pirates 6-1 rout of Bordentown on Saturday.

Boy’s Soccer: The honor for the boy’s soccer team goes to Pat McCarthy, who on senior night against Pennsauken scored two goals, one to tie the game and one to put the Pirates in front for good.

Field Hockey: Field hockey went 3-0 this past week and the honor goes to keeper Lauren Friedrich. Friedrich recorded one shutout, 6-0 against Maple Shade, and stood tall in the Pirates overtime win against New Egypt, making 10 saves.

Boy’s Cross Country: In only two races this week the Pirates secured the Patriot Division title and made a nice showing at Van Courtland Park. Mike Ungvarsky finished first in the batch meet at New Egypt and third overall at Van Courtland Park, running the second-fastest time in school history. He takes home the honor this week.

Girl’s Cross Country: The honor this week goes to Madison Edwards, who finished first for the Pirates with a time of 20:52 at a batch meet that saw Cinnaminson win the Patriot Division crown. Edwards helped the Pirates finish second as a team at the SJ Open on Saturday at Delsea.

Football: Despite suffering a 34-33 loss to Holy Cross on Friday night, the Pirates are 4-1 on the season. This week’s honor goes to senior wide receiver Devon Taylor. Taylor caught two passes Friday, both for touchdowns, for 58 and 59 yards.
