COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College women's swimming & diving first-year Ryley McCarthy (Woburn, Mass./Woburn Memorial) was named Northeast 10 Conference Rookie of the Week for the week ending on Sunday, Oct. 25.
 
McCarthy registered two wins and a pair of top-five NE10 times this season during Roger Williams University's Fisher Invitational on Saturday. Saint Michael's finished second among five schools. After winning the 14-swimmer 50-yard backstroke in the NE10's third-fastest time this winter (28.63), she took the 11-entrant 100 back in the league's fifth-best showing (1:02.64). McCarthy also swam leadoff for the third-place 200-yard medley relay (1:57.87) and aided the fifth-place 200-yard freestyle relay (1:47.33). She leads the Purple Knights in individual (7) and total (8) triumphs this year.
