Hickson and Paniagua Earn Weekly Honors

Princeton's Gaby Paniagua was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week while sophomore defender Bobby Hickson was named the Suburban Transit/GoPrincetonTigers.com Athlete of the Week as the Tigers went 2-0 this past week.

Hickson had a hand in all three Princeton goals this week, netting both game-winning goals, including one in overtime to defeat Penn on the road on Saturday. On Tuesday, Hickson scored his first career goal in a 1-0 win over Drexel. Saturday he assisted on the team's first goal to make it a 1-1 game with the Quakers before delivering the winning goal in the 94th minute. Hickson finished with a five-point week - his first points of his collegiate career.

Paniagua scored the equalizer and eventually helped Princeton defeat Penn, 2-1, in overtime. Trailing 1-0, Paniagua knotted the game in the 23rd minute off a deep throw in the attacking zone. Hickson sent the ball into the box where it was knocked around before Paniagua collected the ball and sent it past Penn's Scott Forbes.

Princeton improves to 6-6-1 on the season and is unbeaten in its last six games with a 2-2-2 Ivy League record. The Tigers host Yale on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 4 p.m., in the regular-season finale as Princeton honors the Class of 2018.
