NEW YORK - A pair of Musketeers, Maddie Reed and Maria Galley, earned BIG EAST weekly honor after helping keep Xavier undefeated in BIG EAST play last week. Reed was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, while Galley earned Goalkeeper of the Week after helping Xavier to a 0-0 draw against Georgetown and a 1-0 win at UConn to move the Musketeers to 3-0-3 in conference play. Additionally, midfielder Samantha Wiehe earned a spot on the Weekly Honor Roll.
