YORK, Pa. -- The Capital Athletic Conference announced its Oct.
31, 2011, weekly award winners:
FIELD HOCKEY
Mary Washington senior forward MORGAN JONES (Williamsburg,
Va./Walsingham Academy) was selected as the CAC Field Hockey
Offensive Player of the Week while York sophomore goalie ALANNA
CURTIS (Easthampton, N.J./Rancocas Valley Regional) was named
the CAC Defensive Player of the Week.
Jones scored the hat trick and broke the Mary Washington record
for goals in a season in Sunday's 6-0 CAC playoff victory over
sixth-seeded Stevenson. The UMW standout is now second on the
Eagles' career goals (49) and points (122) lists.
Curtis registered a pair of shutouts against CAC rivals this
week. She had two saves in a midweek win at Hood that
clinched the No. 4 seed and a home game in the opening round of the
playoffs, then rejected four shots against St. Mary's in Sunday's
first-round playoff action. Curtis now has five shutouts this
season.
WOMEN'S SOCCER
Mary Washington sophomore forward ERIN REYNOLDS (Oakton,
Va./Oakton) was named the CAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of
the Week while St. Mary's sophomore goalie KELSEY WIRTZ (Parkton,
Md./Hereford) was selected as the CAC Women's Soccer Defensive
Player of the Week.
Reynolds propelled fifth-seeded Mary Washington into the semifinal
round of the 2011 CAC playoffs by recovering the rebound of her
shot and punching it into the back of the net in the 98th minute of
Sunday's 2-1 win at York. Her eighth goal of the season
raised her season total to 21 points, which shares the team
lead.
Wirtz registered five saves in a midweek draw at Marymount that
pinned down SMC's sixth seed in the CAC playoffs. She then
denied third-seeded Frostburg State nine times during Sunday's
scoreless draw, including several in the shootout that advanced the
Seahawks to the CAC semifinals.
