NESCAC Women's Soccer Player of the Week
Stefanie Stoj – Wesleyan – Jr. – F – Vernon, Conn.
Stoj led Wesleyan to a pair of 1-0 victories in NESCAC play as she scored both Cardinal goals. The junior started with a tally in the 47th minute, which proved enough to lift Wesleyan past Trinty, 1-0. Stoj followed up with a left-footed strike from just inside the box in the 68th minute that sealed a 1-0 win over Williams. That goal against the Ephs broke Williams' six-game shutout streak.
