Johnny Mulera (Rockville, MD/Salve Regina University (NCAA DIII)) and Jazmene Molina (La Mirada, CA/Valencia) have been selected as the Pioneer Athletes of the Week for the week of February 24th, 2025.

Mulera capped off the regular season campaign in stunning fashion this past weekend, burying three goals against Manhattanville to help the Pioneers pocket their ninth-straight Regular Season Conference Title. The Maryland man managed a pair of key scores in Friday's win, grabbing two out of the five-straight scores for Utica in an eventual 5-1 victory over the Valiants. In the second leg of the Pioneers' final weekend series, Mulera netted the eventual game-winner while on a power play to give the Pioneers a 3-2 victory and also secure them the number one seed in this season's UCHC Tournament. The graduate player's trio of scores, along with his game-winner, gave the Pioneers the push they needed to achieve yet another regular season crown.

Molina had a historic outing for the Pioneer women's wrestling program at the NCWWC Region 1 Championships this past weekend. The graceful grappler produced a second place finish in the 124lb bracket, felling nearly all her foes on the way to a podium placement. Molina defeated two solid opponents to reach the 124lb finals, securing a top-2 finish and also becoming the program's first ever wrestler to advance to the National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships. Molina will head to the Xtreme Arena in Coralville, Iowa to compete for the National Championship on March 7th and 8th.
