George Baughan, Princeton

Wyndmoor, Pa., defenseman, freshman The Tigers were left out of the Ivy League tournament despite a 14-8 upset of then-No. 6 Cornell on Saturday, but it does not dismiss what Baughan did. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound rookie caused a game-high four turnovers and scooped up four ground balls. More importantl­y, Baughan shut out Big Red sophomore attackman Jeff Teat, who took only one shot and turned the ball over five times. The last time Teat — who entered the game leading Division I in points per game (6.7) — finished a game without a point was March 5, 2017, in a 17-6 loss to Albany. Baughan even outscored Teat, lodging his first career goal with 5:38 left in the first quarter to give Princeton a 3-2 lead that it would not relinquish.

Jillian Petito, Mount St. Mary’s

Ocean City, goalie, junior Petito led the Mountainee­rs to the biggest upset of the season in the Northeast Conference on Sunday. She made 14 saves to lead a stifling defensive performanc­e against Bryant, which owns the NEC’s top scoring offense, for a 12-6 victory. The Bulldogs took a 6-4 lead with 2:22 left in the first half before the Mountainee­rs shut them out the rest of the way. Petito posted a .700 save percentage against the defending NEC champions. The win gave the Mountainee­rs (10-6) their first 10-win season since 2007, the last time they won the NEC regular season. Petito, a Stephen Decatur graduate, also made six saves and had three caused turnovers in a 16-5 win over Central Connecticu­t on Friday.
