Here's how Marquette wrote it up: Senior Chandler Hallwood was named the league's Goalkeeper of the Week for his performance against Xavier on Saturday. In the lone game he played last week, Hallwood earned the clean sheet as he held the Musketeers off the score sheet for the first time this season and helped MU earn its first road point over a nationally-ranked squad since 2014.

In addition to Hallwood's major award, Alex Mirsberger was included on the Weekly Honor Roll. Here's the MU explanation: Senior defender Alex Mirsberger was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after a massive three-goal performance against Milwaukee on Tuesday and anchoring the Marquette defense to a clean sheet on the road against No. 19 Xavier on Saturday. Scoring all three goal in the first 33 minutes against Milwaukee, he became the first Marquette player to have a hat trick since 2011 and the first defender in all of NCAA Division I to have a hat trick since 2019.

You can go read the league office's quick blurb on Murray's honor, but the Marquette one is more detailed: The All-BIG EAST Preseason Team selection averaged 1.45 blocks per set, while hitting .350 in wins over Loyola Chicago, LSU and Green Bay.

It's not clear from the press release, but I presume that the 2022-23 school year will be the first of the three years in the extension of the agreement between the two parties. As in the past, this covers any events not claimed by the Big East's contract with Fox Sports, so most regular season women's basketball along with soccer, volleyball, and lacrosse in terms of sports that Marquette is involved in.
