McLaughlin named Offensive Player of the Week, Dancer earns Freshman of the Week
NEW YORK - After picking up a pair of shutout wins last week to move to 4-0 in BIG EAST play, a pair of Musketeers, Molly McLaughlin and Regan Dancer, were honored by the league offices. McLaughlin, a midfielder, was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week while Dancer, a forward, was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week, the League office announced on Monday.
McLaughlin, a graduate student from Granger, Ind., led Xavier last week with four points on two goals. Against Villanova, McLaughlin used a header to finish a Rachel Dewey free kick, shooting to the lower right corner score the game-winner in Xavier's 1-0 win. Against Seton Hall, McLaughlin scored her team-high fourth goal of the season on a second-half penalty kick, putting Xavier ahead 2-0. She's 3-3 on PKs for the season and 6-6 for her Xavier career, and has a team-high 10 points on four goals and two assists.Â
Dancer, who is originally from South Lyon, Mich., scored the game-winner in Xavier's 2-0 win over Seton Hall, tapping in a cross from Emma Flick in the first half. The freshman forward had four total shots (two on goal) in the match against the Pirates and had a .500 shot on goal percentage. This was Dancer's second game-winning goal of the season with the first coming on Aug. 28 at Ball State. She now has five points on two goals and an assist
Xavier is on the road for its next match, traveling to No. 19 Georgetown on Thursday, set for a 3:00 p.m. start.
