Bryant helped power the Chargers to a 2-1 week with two United East victories, defeating both Gallaudet and Neumann 3-0 while falling to Misericordia on the road in non-conference play. Kevin shined in all three matches, tallying 27 total kills with just one error the whole week for a .743 attack percentage overall, far and away the best in the conference this week. In conference play, Bryant had 10 kills and no errors for an .833 hitting day against the Bison with one service ace, then nine kills and no errors on .900 hitting against the Knights on Saturday. Bryant ranks second in the United East with a .442 season attack percentage with 230 total kills and 2.64 kills per set, all top-10 in the conference this year.

Atkins had a superb week for the Chargers in the circle, earning two wins for a 2-0 record while allowing zero earned runs over 12.0 innings pitched. Maddison threw a 7.0 inning complete game on Thursday at Franklin & Marshall with no earned runs on seven hits and two walks, striking out one as the Chargers earned a 6-4 victory for their first-ever win over the Diplomats. Then on Saturday, Maddie reached a significant career milestone with her 300th career strikeout, tallying six total Ks against Gallaudet in a 20-0 victory in five innings. She threw a one-hit, 5.0-inning shutout against the Bison for her first shutout of the year, improving to 6-2 in eight starts in 2026. Maddie ranks 12th in the United East this season with a 3.57 ERA through 53.0 innings, ranking second with six total wins and ninth in the conference with 30 strikeouts.

Rebekah had four total doubles for the week, one in each game, and one triple for a 1.062 weekly OPS, driving in eight RBI including a career-high five RBI in game two against Gallaudet on Saturday. Bekah now has a team-leading .423 season batting average, good for 14th in the conference, with her 1.089 OPS being tied for 12th in the United East and ranking top-five in the conference in hits (22) and doubles (6).
