LANCASTER, PA – Johns Hopkins junior forward Gwen Rauvola has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts in a 2-0 week for the Blue Jays.  This is the second time this season that Rauvola has been named the Centennial Offensive Player of the Week.  She previously shared the award once earlier this season (September 29) and she becomes the first player in the league to twice earn CC Offensive Player of the Week honors during the 2026 season.
 
Rauvola scored two goals and added one assist to power Johns Hopkins to wins against Dickinson (2-0) and Ursinus (4-1) in the final week of the regular season; the two victories secured the top seed in this week's Centennial Conference Tournament for the Blue Jays.
 
In the crucial 2-0 win at Dickinson, Rauvola scored once and added an assist in the 2-0 victory, while she scored the Blue Jays' first goal in the 4-1 win against the Bears.
 
Rauvola has emerged as a consistent scoring threat for Johns Hopkins since the start of Centennial Conference play.  She counts six goals and one assist for 13 points on the year with all of those totals coming in league play.  She is tied for second on the team in goals and ranks third in points entering the post-season.  In Centennial Conference games only, she leads the league in goals (6) and is tied for the league lead in points (13).
 
Johns Hopkins (13-1-2, 9-1 CC) will host a Centennial Conference Semifinal game on Friday, November 6 at 4 pm.  The Blue Jays' opponent in that game will be determined at the conclusion of the first-round games being played on Tuesday, November 3.  Johns Hopkins will play the lowest remaining seed among fourth-seeded McDaniel, fifth-seeded Franklin & Marshall and sixth-seeded Gettysburg after the first round.
