PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
Lisa Giezeman
Delaware | So. | F | Leidschendam, The Netherlands/Sin-Maartenscollege
Giezeman has enjoyed a productive sophomore campaign for No. 9 Delaware for the majority of the year and proved that again over the weekend as the Blue Hens went 2-0 en route to pushing their winning streak to 11 games. Giezeman’s first-ever CAA Player of the Week nod comes after a three-goal, one assist showing. The sophomore registered a goal and one assist in Friday’s 7-0 win at Towson and then scored two more times on Sunday against then-No. 19 American in a convincing, 6-1 victory. Giezeman ranks second on UD in both points (24) and goals (9) this fall.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
Cammie Lloyd
William & Mary | Jr. | F/M | Midlothian, Va./Trinity Episcopal
Lloyd wins her second CAA Player of the Week honor of 2016 following an important 2-0 weekend for William & Mary. The junior recorded two assists in Friday’s 4-3 overtime victory at then-No. 17 James Madison and also netted the game-winning goal two-plus minutes into the extra period. The victory over the Dukes secured the Tribe a spot in the upcoming, four-team CAA Championship field and upped their conference record to 4-1. On Sunday against VCU, Lloyd scored her second goal of the weekend (W&M’s first of the game) as the Tribe eventually earned a 5-4 road win. Lloyd now is credited with 13 goals and 32 points this fall - the most goals and points for a Tribe player in a single-season since 2004.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK:
Cassidy Goodwin
William & Mary | Fr. | M | Gloucester, Va./Gloucester
Goodwin is the third different Tribe freshmen to pick up the conference’s Rookie of the Week honor this year. Entering last week, the Gloucester, Va., product had one goal on the season, but scored twice in Sunday’s victory at VCU. With her team down, 3-1, Goodwin’s first score ignited a 4-1 run, with her second goal later tying the contest at 4-4 in the second half.
