Eric Vitale has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of March 31, 2025.

Vitale cemented himself as a Pioneer legend this past weekend, notching two goals in the NCAA Division III Semifinals and Finals to bring the team to the brink of their first ever national championship. Vitale scored the first goal of the championship bout, slotting away a bouncing puck in the goalmouth of the Hobart net to give the squad a 1-0 lead. Vitale's first goal is one that will be replayed for years to come though, as he put away a rebound in overtime of the semifinal showdown with Curry to win the game and send the Pioneers to their first ever NCAA Division III National Championship Appearance. Vitale was named to the All-Tournament team for his efforts.
