Each week, The Daily News' sports crew picks its PPQ - the play, player and quote of the week.
But it doesn't stop there. With the help of our online voters, the weekly fan choice is also featured.
This week's best:Play of the weekForward Hannah Jones (field hockey) - scored the winning goal in the Cardinals' opener at Davidson College. With 25 minutes left in the game, the junior put back a rebound to give Ball State a 2-1 lead and its first win of the year.

Quote of the week"Three down lineman, that's a man's work. I feel like this is a little bit easier. You have a lot more help and a lot more one-on-one situations." - Junior defensive end Robert Eddins on the defensive switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 system.
Fan's choiceJulie Breivogel (women's volleyball) - With 37 votes and 58 percent of the poll, the senior outside hitter won this year's first Fans Choice poll. With a career-high 22 kills in a loss to Coastal Carolina, Breivogel topped Brooke MacGillivary of the field hockey team, who had 16 votes.
