The accolades were for softball's final week of the regular season, which featured three separate road doubleheader matchups versus Stonehill College, Assumption and American International. Across that span, Cangiano finished the week with 13 total hits, including a home run, while posting a .619 batting average, an .810 slug percentage, and a .609 on-base percentage.

Through the entire series, Cangiano concluded with eight runs batted in, bringing her week total to 14 RBI.
Cangiano and Franklin Pierce softball prepare for this week's NE10 Conference Tournament, which will be hosted by Adelphi University in Garden City, New York.
