keep the Bulldogs off the scoreboard in the second half.
After giving up 10 points in the first half, Marynowitz and the defense
gave up no points in the final two quarters, forcing three turnovers and
blocking a field goal attempt. Marynowitz and the TU secondary allowed

his third career multi-goal game with the Tigers.

emerged as a solid starter on the Tigers' back line. With his height, he has
dominated Trinity’s aerial defense, as well as cleaning up effectively on the
ground. Robertson was instrumental in Trinity’s two road shutouts this weekend,
allowing opposing offenses just four total shots on goal as the top-ranked
Tigers improved to 4-0-0.
Women's
Soccer - Offensive
CAROLINE VOELKEL OF

Offensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday,

Voelkel led the Lynx in
two victories over American Southwest Conference competition over the weekend
- including a
2-0 upset of fourth-ranked Hardin-Simmons on Friday.
Voelkel scored
the game-winning goal against HSU - her second of the season - in the
38th minute on Friday night to break the Cowgirls' 33-game regular-season
unbeaten streak.
That streak dated back to September 9, 2005, when they were beaten by another
SCAC opponent -
Trinity - in overtime in Abilene.
On Saturday against East Texas Baptist,
Voelkel scored four goals including a first half true hat-trick (three
consecutive goals) as Rhodes rolled to the 8-0 win.
For the season, Voelkel has six goals and one assist to give her a
SCAC-high 13 points.

Defensive
LIZZIE WRIGHT OF RHODES COLLEGE,
a junior defender from Needham, Mass., has been selected the SCAC Women's
Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, September 3
through Sunday, September 9.
Wright's stellar defensive effort over the weekend helped the Lynx to
two shut-out victories over American Southwest Conference opponents. Rhodes
defeated fourth-ranked Hardin-Simmons (2-0) on Friday and East Texas Baptist
(8-0) on Saturday.
On Friday night against HSU, Wright drew the unenviable task of marking
the Cowgirl's all-America forward Amy Kuykendall and kept her from becoming a
factor in the game.
In addition to helping hold ETBU to just three shots on Saturday night,
Wright also scored a goal on a shot from 25 yards out.
The shutouts against HSU and ETBU were the Lynx' second and third of the 2007
season.

with four victories at the University of Dallas Invitational.

hitting percentage, and also had team highs with 24 blocks and 11 serving
aces. So far this year, Listol is leading the SCAC in both kills (5.33 kills per game)
