MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University women’s soccer player Kelsey Fowler was named to Soccer America’s Team of the Week today for her efforts last week in a pair of BIG EAST matches.
Fowler, a senior, picked up her second honor of the week, also being named the BIG EAST Conference Defensive Player of the Week. The Wheeling, W.Va., native anchored a back line that did not allow a goal in two league contests.
Fowler and the Mountaineer defense held St. John’s to just two shots on-goal in 110 minutes of play in a 0-0 tie on Sept. 25. WVU held Syracuse without a shot on-goal and kept the Orange scoreless in an 8-0 win on Sept. 28. The Mountaineers earned their seventh and eighth shutouts of the season last week.
Fowler is the second WVU player to be recognized on Soccer America’s Team of the Week this season. Teammate Greer Barnes has twice (9/9 and 9/23) been honored for her defensive play.
West Virginia travels to New Jersey for a pair of conference matches this weekend. The Mountaineers take on Seton Hall Friday, Oct. 3, and battle Rutgers Sunday, Oct. 5.
