Meghan Paul has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of April 20th, 2026.
Paul put together a dominant offensive week, leading the Pioneers in multiple categories while powering Utica to a 2-2 record with a doubleheader sweep to close the stretch. Over four games, Paul batted .417 (5-for-12) with five runs scored, 10 RBIs, and four extra-base hits, including two home runs, a double, and a triple, good for a team-best 1.167 slugging percentage and .500 on-base percentage. She also added three stolen bases. Paul delivered in key moments throughout the week, anchoring the top of the lineup during Utica’s offensive surge that produced 39 total runs. Paul was especially impactful in the Pioneers’ sweep of Houghton, where the offense erupted for 32 runs across the doubleheader, with Paul mashing her first career grand slam, to cap a 14-1 win over Houghton in the team’s first game of the doubleheader. Â
Paul and the Pioneers have a busy slate this week, voyaging to Keuka on Tuesday, Hartwick on Wednesday, while hosting Nazareth on Friday and Fisher on Saturday.
