GABBY MCDONALD OF CENTENARY COLLEGE, a sophomore midfielder from Pasadena, Texas, has been named the SCAC Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, October 27th.
McDonald was a lock down defender this past week for the Ladies as she helped lead her team to three victories including a pair of road conference wins last weekend over the University of Dallas and Austin College. She also chipped in offensively scoring the game-winning goal on Friday in a thrilling 3-2 win at Dallas in the 73rd minute to break a tie and give the Maroon and White the key SCAC victory. McDonald now has two goals and an assist in 14 games (12 starts) this season for the Ladies.
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Senior defender Kristen Canepa of Trinity led the Tigers to a 1-1 record last week, including a shutout win in its only SCAC contest at Johnson & Wales on Friday. She picked up an assist in the Johnson & Wales game, holding the Wildcats to just four total shots .
