9/9/2019 11:55:00 AM | WOMEN'S SOCCER
CHICAGO - Goalkeeper Mollie Eriksson landed on the #BIGEASTwsoc Weekly Honor Roll, announced by the conference Monday, for her performance against two top-25 ranked teams in Kansas and South Carolina over the weekend at the Boilermaker Challenge Cup.Â
The sophomore earned the shutout against No. 11 Kansas, making three saves against the Jayhawks, who out-shot the Blue Demons 20-5. Despite a 1-0 setback against No. 7 South Carolina, Eriksson recorded four saves as the Gamecocks also out-shot DePaul, 16-2.Â
This is the second week in a row DePaul has been named in the weekly awards.Â
BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week &
BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Skylar Heinrich, Creighton, Fr., F
The Omaha native led Creighton to a 2-0-0 week with five goals, including a pair of game-winners. Down 1-0 on Sunday versus Eastern Michigan, Heinrich entered the match in the 20th minute and was more than instant offense as the Bluejays scored on a corner to knot the match at 1-1. Over the next 16 minutes the Creighton forward tied a school record with four goals, including the game-winner in the 23rd minute. Her four tallies equaled the most goals scored in a single match in program history. The last time a Bluejay scored four goals in a match came in 2000. In addition Heinrich's efforts were Creighton's first hat trick since 2009 when Brittney Neumann scored three goals against South Dakota on Aug. 28. On Friday night, Heinrich delivered the decisive goal in the Bluejays' 1-0 over Iowa State in the 88th minute.

BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
Grace Bahr, Xavier, Sr., M/D
Bahr anchored the Musketeers' defense in a pair of shutout victories last week. Xavier limited its opponents to just seven shots on goal last week, outshooting Kent State and Akron on the road by a 29-14 margin, including 13-7 on target.
Â
BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week
Hensley Hancuff, Villanova, So., GK

Hancuff has not allowed a goal in over 282 minutes.

Eriksson was impressive against a pair of highly ranked teams, earning the 1-0 shutout with three saves against No. 11 Kansas on Friday.
