ST. LOUIS – After a dominant all-around performance in Missouri Baptist's 13-10 win over NCAA Division II Quincy University, Delaney Pechnik was named Heart of America Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, and Rachel Livak was named Defensive Player of the Week. 

Pechnik played a pivotal role in the Spartans' season-opening victory, delivering on both ends of the field. The attacker scored six goals and added one assist for a game-high seven points. She was efficient throughout, converting six of her nine shot attempts and placing all nine shots on goal for a perfect 100% shots-on-goal percentage. 

In addition to her offensive production, she contributed five draw controls and a caused turnover while finishing with three turnovers in 60 minutes of action.

The win marked a statement victory for Missouri Baptist over NCAA Division II Quincy, with Pechnik accounting for nearly half of the Spartans' scoring output in the 13-10 decision. Her performance helped secure the Spartans' first win of the season and set the tone moving forward. 

On the defensive end, Livak anchored the Spartans in goal, playing all 60 minutes in the 13-10 victory. The goalkeeper totaled 13 saves while allowing 10 goals, finishing with a 56.5 save percentage.

She came up with several key stops in the fourth quarter as Quincy attempted to close the gap, denying point-blank opportunities to halt momentum and preserve the Spartans' lead. Her late-game composure proved critical in securing Missouri Baptist's win over the NCAA Division II Hawks. 

The Spartans will hit the road on Thursday to take on Culver-Stockton College. Faceoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
