of the Week, while teammate Frances Silva earned a spot on the weekly
Honor Roll, and was named to TopDrawerSoccer's Team of the Week,
officials announced Monday afternoon.

four saves against Connecticut and was great off her line to secure
WVU's 13th win of the season.
Silva

goal in three straight matches and has scored five goals in 10 BIG EAST
contests this season.
