LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - First-year defender Zoe Gulick of Texas Lutheran University and senior midfielder Emily Jorgens of Trinity University were named Players of the Week for week seven of the SCAC women's soccer season.
SCAC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
WEEK
Games of October 6th – October 12th
EMILY JORGENS OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a senior midfielder from Austin, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, October 6th through Sunday, October 12th.
Jorgens became the first player in SCAC
history to reach 50 goals and 50 assists in a career over the last
week, leading the third-ranked Tiger women’s soccer team to
wins over Our Lady of the Lake and Centenary.
Jorgens scored the game-winning goal in
Monday’s 4-0 shutout over Our Lady of the Lake, finding the
back of the net in the 17th minute of action. On Friday, she scored
three consecutive goals in the second half of play for the Tigers.
The hat trick in Friday’s win over Centenary marks the third
consecutive season that Jorgens has
scored a hat trick, and she also scored her 50th career goal during
the game. She is the first player in Trinity history to reach
50 goals and 50 assists, and she is now just nine goals from
breaking the school record for a career.
For the season, Jorgens leads Trinity
with 11 goals and 14 assists for a total of 36 points. She has also
scored a team-best five game-winning goals for the
Tigers.
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Senior midfielder Mandi
Sherwood of Austin College provided the game
winner in a 1-0 victory over Schreiner on Sunday. The goal was her
team-leading fourth of the season and her third game-winner of the
year. Sophomore
midfielder Cascade Mayer of Dallas was responsible for
the golden goal in the Crusaders' 1-0 overtime victory at Schreiner
on Friday night. It was her second on the campaign, as the netter
lifted Dallas to its fourth-straight win, all in conference. Mayer
also added a team-high, three shots, in a 3-0 setback on Sunday to
Texas Lutheran. Freshman defender Mackenzie Millican
of Southwestern scored her second game-winning
goal in as many games in a 1-0 win over Centenary on
Sunday. Junior
forward Sioned Kirkpatrick of Texas Lutheran played a
key role in the Bulldogs' offensive outburst against Dallas, a 3-0
blanking on Sunday. She tallied an assist on Zoe Gulick's
game-winning goal and followed that up with a goal of her own to
make it 2-0. Centenary and Schreiner did not
nominate anyone.
SCAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
WEEK
Games of October 6th – October 12th
ZOE GULICK OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a first-year defender from New Braunfels, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, October 6th through Sunday, October 12th.
Gulick was part of a Bulldog defensive
effort that produced two conference shutouts - a 1-0 defeat of
Austin College on Friday and a 3-0 blanking of the University of
Dallas on Sunday.
In addition to her defensive
efforts, Gulick provided the
game-winning goal, not to mention tallying her first career assist,
in Sunday's victory over Dallas. The victory put TLU in a tie for
second place in the points column (15) with both Dallas and
Southwestern.
Gulick's goal, which came in the 15th minute
of Sunday's contest, was the second of her career.
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Junior
goalkeeper Franchesca Lozoya of Austin College had
another stellar weekend in goal for the 'Roos, making eight saves
and earning one shutout while boasting a .889 save percentage and
finishing with a goals-against-average of just 0.5 in two
matches. Junior
goalkeeper Katherine Rodgers of Southwestern recorded
her second straight shutout with a 1-0 win over Centenary on Sunday
- the Pirates' only action of the week. Junior midfielder Kimberly Polasek of
Trinity led the Tigers to a pair of wins over the past
week, allowing just one shot and one goal against Our Lady of the
Lake and Centenary. Polasek and the Trinity defense secured the
team’s eighth consecutive shutout to start the week on Monday
against OLLU, then finished with Friday’s 9-1 win over
Centenary. Polasek also contributed offensively, assisting on the
first goal of the second half of Monday’s win over the
Saints. Centenary, Dallas and Schreiner did not
nominate anyone for the award.
