AMESBURY, Mass. — University of New Hampshire junior defenseman Sadie Makokis (St. Albert, Alberta) was named Army ROTC Co-Defender of the Week on Monday (Jan. 5).

(Dec. 1), Addison Spitz (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) (Nov. 3), Josie Linn (Excelsior, Minn.) (Nov. 3), and Aurora Kahlert (Maple Ridge, British Columbia) (Oct. 13).
