The athletics department honors the captains of each of the fall sports programs by designating them as Hawks of the Week. These team captains provided leadership on and off the field of competition this semester, keeping their teammates mentally and physically involved in skill improvement and cultural connection.
Women’s soccer head coach Jenna Castricone announced a pair of third-year seniors, Brittany Profetta and Amber Stuck, as this year’s captains. Profetta, who missed her sophomore campaign on the pitch at Hilbert, and Stuck, who accelerated her academic progress as an undergrad, earned the leadership role based on their positive attitudes, commitment to and involvement within the program. They have served as role models, been vocal leaders on an off the field, have taken charge of group activities, and have held their teammates accountable.
Midfielder Amber Stuck (Bolivar, N.Y./Bolivar-Richburg) was also a two-year starter since she arrived on campus in the fall of 2018. She was credited with one assist and 32 shots throughout her COVID-shortened career. Stuck will graduate in May 2021 thanks to diligent efforts and hard work in the classroom in both high school and college. Her accelerated academic path allows her to begin graduate-level courses in 2021 preventing her from completing her fourth season on the pitch. She is also a two-time AMCC Academic All-Conference member, a two-time Peak Performer and contributed to the women’s soccer program’s 7th and 8th AMCC Team Peak Performer Award having chipped into the team gpa of 3.431 (2018) and 3.480 (2019). Stuck, who will be inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Student-Athlete Academic Honor Society in April 2021, has served as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee’s treasure since 2018.
