NEW LONDON, Conn. — 

The United States Coast Guard Athletics Division is proud to recognize senior football player Matthew LaBouliere (Pipersville, Pa.) and sophomore cross country runner Kevyn Fish (Allison Park, Pa.) as the CoastGuardAthletics.com Cadet-Athletes of the Week, presented by First Command, for the week spanning Monday, October 12th, through Sunday, October 18th!

LaBouliere was the football team's top offensive contributor during Saturday's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game at MIT. The senior receiver hauled in four receptions for 87 yards and three touchdowns, just one score off his program record. LaBouliere's five touchdowns on the season are tied for most on the team.

Fish was the cross country program's fastest runner at the Conn College Invite on Saturday. The sophomore led the Bears' 13th-place finish in the Blue Championship race's 28-team field, crossing the line in 21:32.8 for 19th place. Fish eight-second personal best also powered her to be the NEWMAC's top runner in the contest.

LaBouliere and Bears' football (3-3, 1-2 NEWMAC) are on the road once again this week, visiting Norwich University (3-3, 1-2 NEWMAC) for further league action and the latest entry into the Battle for the Mug. Fish and the rest of the cross country program take this weekend to prepare 2026 NEWMAC Championships at Smith College on Saturday, October 31st.
