BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Genevieve Huston, a 2026 forward/midfielder from WNY Field Hockey Club, and Zoe Schaffer, a 2022 forward from Lonestar Field hockey Club, have been named the January Scholastic Players of the Month.

Huston amassed 93 offensive points on 35 goals and 23 assists across 18 indoor games during the month of January. She also registered two defensive saves.
