LAUREN ANDREWS OF TRINITY
UNIVERSITY,
a junior defender from Houston, Texas,
has been selected the SCAC Women's Soccer
Offensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, October 25 through
Sunday, October 31.
Andrews was the Defensive
Player-of-the-Week in the SCAC in
Week 1; the first time a soccer
player (man or woman) has earned both an Offensive and a Defensive
Player-of-the-Week honor in the same season.
Andrews
scored two game-winning goals over the SCAC weekend for Trinity,
leading the team to wins over Centre and Sewanee. In Friday's game against
Sewanee, Andrews knocked in the game's only goal - a header off of
a corner kick in the 14th minute. On Sunday afternoon, Andrews
again came up from her defensive spot and ripped a 35-yard shot for a goal
in the 71st minute. Andrews was also a key player on the Tiger
defense which recorded its 12th and 13th shutouts of the year. For the
season, Andrews has three goals for the Tigers, and her
game-winners this weekend were the first of the year for the defender.

Defensive
STACIE BEVERLY OF
RHODES COLLEGE, a senior defender from Lynn Haven, Fla.,
has been selected the SCAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for
matches played from Monday, October 25 through Sunday, October 31.
Beverly
anchored a defense that allowed just two shots on goal all weekend as the
Lynx defeated Oglethorpe 3-0 on Friday and Millsaps 2-1 on Sunday. The
shut-out against Oglethorpe was Rhodes' sixth of the 2004 season, due in
large part to Beverly's work in organizing the Rhodes defense from
her central position. Rhodes now stands at 3-4-1 in the SCAC; 7-7-2
overall. Even more impressive, Beverly helped the Rhodes defense
accomplish this feat while playing in a new defensive formation that the
team had not used until the Oglethorpe game.
