MORGANTOWN -
Women's
soccer forward Kate Schwindel was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Week
and landed a spot on TopDrawerSoccer's Team of the Week this afternoon,
while defender Bry McCarthy was named to the league's weekly honor
roll.
West
Virginia won a pair of crucial BIG EAST home matches over the weekend
to remain in first place of the American Division standings, knocking
off St. John's, 3-0, and defeating Syracuse, 5-1.
Schwindel
scored two goals on four shots in only 110 minutes of BIG EAST action.
The Livingston, N.J., native scored on a long range blast in WVU's win
over St. John's and out-jumped a defender for a header goal against
Syracuse. She has scored at least one point in five of the last seven
matches and has scored 11 points on four goals and three assists in
league play.
McCarthy
was outstanding at outside back and recorded game-winning assists in
both weekend matches. She also helped WVU's defense post a shutout
against St. John's – its seventh of the year. The Ajax, Ontario, native
got forward to generate offense in both matches – constantly making runs
into the offensive third. Five of McCarthy's team-best six assists have
come in conference play.
The
Mountaineers, winners of nine of their last 10 matches, close out the
regular season with three BIG EAST road contests, beginning with a trip
to Providence on Friday, Oct. 14.
