ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Men's track and field senior Nathan Kent and women's lacrosse junior Mikayla Williams were named Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) Co-Athletes of the Week.

He later took the 200 meters with the second-fastest time in school history at 20.76 which was the third fastest time in the region.
 
Williams recorded a season-high six points on a season-best three goals and a career-high three assists, while adding four draw controls on the day. Williams recorded her seventh hat trick of the season. The Bexley, Ohio native scored what proved to be the game-winning goal as the Midshipmen notched a six-goal victory over their rival.
