MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- Wellesley College field hockey junior Marguerite Greene (Boston, Mass.) has been named the NEWMAC Field Hockey Defensive Athlete of the Week for the week ending on October 5, 2025.

Greene helped anchor a Wellesley defense that didn't allow a goal this week with shutout wins over Nichols and Salve Regina. The Blue became just the third team this season to deny Salve a goal while also limiting Nichols to only two shots. Greene's work on defense propelled the Blue and limited chances for opponents.

Next up, the Blue will host Mount Holyoke College on Tuesday, October 7 at 6:00 PM.
