Women’s soccer freshman Alex Neal was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday. It is the second time the GW midfielder has won the award this season.
Neal scored both goals in the Colonials’ 2-1 win over Temple on Friday, the team’s first A-10 game of the season. Her three goals this season are tied for the team lead, and her 13 shots are second most on the team behind junior Sierra Smidinger.
With its wins Friday over Temple and Sunday over Saint Joseph’s, GW extended its winning streak to six games, remained unbeaten at home so far this season and opened conference play 2-0. GW will be on the road later this week when they travel south to take on Richmond on the road Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.
