For their performances last week, Justina Intzes and Ilia Morozov are Miami’s Athletes of the Week, presented by Skyline Chili for the week of October 19.
Female Winner: Justina Intzes
Justina Intzes scored four of the RedHawks’ 16 goals this weekend in a 6-1 win over Bellarmine and a 10-0 shutout against Ball State. Her goals bring her season total to a team-leading 11, which ranks among the top in the nation. She also tallied an assist this weekend to add nine points in total to her stat sheet and had a shooting percentage of .500. She also put up eight of Miami’s 60 shots and helped hold opponents to a collective eight. A sophomore from Mendoza, Argentina, she is studying Engineering Management in the College of Engineering and Computing.
Male Winner: Ilia Morozov
Ilia Morozov scored four first-period goals across two games to help Miami to a home-and-home sweep of Robert Morris this week. Morozov became the first RedHawk with back-to-back multi-goal games in the same season since Phil Knies (Jan. 12-13, 2018). The Buffalo Sabres prospect now owns four multi-goal games in his career, with half of them coming this past week. His prolific production included his first-ever goals in Steve “Coach” Cady Arena Thursday to help Miami to a 7-1 rout in its home opener, earning Third Star honors. A sophomore forward from Moscow, Russia, he is studying Finance in the Farmer School of Business.
