She capped the week with another double-double of 15 kills and 17 digs, while adding an ace and block assist in Saturday's 3-1 win at American International to open the NE10 schedule.
Remick has appeared in all 13 matches for Stonehill this season, as the Skyhawks have won eight of their last nine, and ranks 13th among NE10 leaders with 2.95 kills per set and 15th with 3.40 points per set.
