We turn to the Marquette press release on the topic, which is always a little more informative than the league’s: Allieri posted a season-high 17 saves and allowed just four goals in nearly 58 minutes against Detroit Mercy to improve to 3-1 on the season. The native of Wellesley, Massachusetts made six saves in the first quarter and posted a shutout through the first 18 minutes of game action.

Here's how Marquette's press release on the topic wrote up O'Grady's honor: The attackman continued his hot shooting to start the year with four goals in Wednesday's game at then-No. 2/3 Notre Dame. He extended his career-long goal scoring streak to 18 games and has 15 goals through three contests this season, good for fourth nationally in goals per contests (5.00/game).

Here's the league's writeup on the sophomore attacker for Week 2 of the season: O’Grady continued his torrid pace to start the year with a five-goal, one-assist performance on Saturday at Utah. The sophomore is tied with Bell at the top of the league with 6.5 points per game.

For the first week of the season, attacker Bobby O'Grady was named Attack Player of the Week, attacker Andrew Bowman was named Freshman of the Week, and defender Mason Woodward earned a nod on the Honor Roll. O'Grady's writeup: The reigning BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, O'Grady pushed his career-long goal scoring streak to 16 games with a six-goal, one-assist effort in the season opener against Lindenwood. O'Grady notched his eighth career hat trick in the win and third sock trick of his career. The sophomore now has 51 goals through 16 games and is the eighth player in Marquette history to reach the 50-goal plateau. Bowman's writeup: Bowman registered two goals in his collegiate opener, earning the start in the the midfield. The first-year attacker scored both goals in the first quarter to help Marquette jump out to a 7-1 lead in a 17-2 win over Lindenwood.
