Seven Emory University student-athletes were named University Athletic Association Athletes of the Week for their performances during the week of October 12-18.

Sophomore Amanda Zheng had another stellar week at the Hollins Cup, finishing second on the individual leaderboard at 145 (+1) through 36 holes and leading the women's golf program to the team win. This was her second consecutive top-five finish after the sophomore secured top honors at the Tartan Invitational earlier in the season. 

Senior Geoffrey Halpern made a career-high nine saves Saturday afternoon to lead men's soccer to a 1-0 road win at NYU. Halpern made seven of his nine stops in the second half to preserve the shutout including three highlight-reel denials over closing moments as the Eagles remained perfect in UAA play at 3-0.

Junior Caroline Gibert aided in the defensive effort for the No. 22 ranked women's soccer squad as Emory pitched shutouts against No. 7 Colby and No. 21 NYU this past week as the team went 1-0-1. Gibert played 164 out of the 180 possible minutes on the backline, leading the Emory defensive unit to only allow five shots on goal combined across both contests. 

On the volleyball court, Sophia Luo led the team in total kills (20) across the 6 sets this weekend while maintaining a .378 hitting percentage (.458 in match 2 with 12 kills and only 1 error) as the Eagles went 2-1 against LaGrange, Juniata and Catholic.

Junior Elodie Mitchell was a two-time event winner on Saturday as the Eagles swept visiting Sewanee in dual meet action. Mitchell earned the top spot in the 200 Fly (2:04.19) and 500 Freestyle (5:10.75) with her time in the 200 Fly marking the lone NCAA B Cut for the Eagles at the meet. Mitchell also was part of Emory's D relay that finished fourth in the 200 Freestyle Relay as she swam second as the team recorded a time of 1:40.48.
