ERIE, PA - Charlie Hunter (Boston, N.Y./Hamburg) (women's lacrosse) and Pace Prosser (Berlin, Pa./Berlin Brothersvalley) (men's basketball) were selected as the Gannon Athletics Student-Athletes of the Week following standout performances for the Golden Knights last week on the field and court.

Hunter was the star of the show in Gannon's home opening win over D'Youville on Wednesday. The senior midfielder scored her 100th career goal midway through the third quarter and notched the game winning goal at the 3:30 mark of OT, her fourth of the afternoon. Hunter finished the game with four goals. 

Prosser was recently named the DII Atlantic Regional tournament MVP, averaging more than 26 points per game during GU's regional title run. His career high 30 points in last Sunday's win over Cal (PA) was a career high for the sophomore. He has been named to the Bevo Francis Top 25 Watch List. The list consists of the top players from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, USCAA and NCCAA.
