MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - For the second straight week, a member of the West Virginia University women’s soccer team has made the W-League team of the week.
Robin Rushton, a Scarborough, Ontario native was one of three defenders named to this week’s team for her efforts in leading the Toronto Lady Lynx to a 4-0 win over the Vermont Lady Voltage.
Rushton dished out one assist and was part of a solid defensive unit that posted its second shutout in as many games.
Last week, fellow Mountaineer Deana Everrett earned the weekly honor after scoring five goals in the Lynx’ 7-0 win over the Rochester Rhinos.
Toronto is currently in first place in the Northern division with a 2-0-0 record. Four Mountaineers, Rushton, Everrett, Amanda Cicchini and incoming freshman Nicole Mailloux, are on the Lynx’ 24-person roster.
The W-League is the top women’s soccer league in North America, boasting 38 teams in a four-conference format with the top women’s players, including former professional stars and elite collegiate players, from the United States and Canada competing.
