WASHINGTON — The Atlantic 10 Conference selected Saint Joseph’s junior Sarah Fisher as the Under Armour Offensive Player of the Week, while Davidson sophomore goalkeeper Grace Stair earned Defensive Player of the Week. George Mason freshman Keira Jeffries earned the Rookie of the Week nod to round out the first weekly awards of the 2026 women’s soccer season. The awards were announced on Monday for games played from August 12-16.

Fisher had a huge opening week for SJU, producing two goals on three shots as well as two assists (six points) to give the Hawks a perfect start to 2026. Against Drexel, Fisher found the back of the net in the 56th minute to tie the match before assisting the match-winning goal in the 70th minute. Against Hofstra, the junior forward from Pennsburg, Pa. recorded her first game-winner of the year with a tally in the 51st minute. Her efforts have led Saint Joseph’s to just its second 2-0-0 start since 2019.

On the defensive side, Davidson goalkeeper Grace Stair made her mark on the new campaign with a clean sheet in the Wildcats’ 1-0 victory over High Point. The sophomore netminder out of Alpharetta, Ga. recorded six saves, including a key stop in the 83rd minute. It is her third clean sheet of her career. 

George Mason’s Keira Jeffries opened her collegiate career with a bang, tallying two goals on three shots while adding an assist. Her five points pushed the Patriots past VMI, 4-1. The first-year forward out of Mount Pleasant, S.C. scored her first career goal in the 70th minute before tacking on another in the 87th, giving George Mason an opening-day victory.
