ACC Women’s Soccer Players of the Week Announced

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Virginia freshman forward Rebecca Jarrett has been named this week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, while Florida State redshirt freshman goalkeeper Brooke Bollinger and Virginia senior defender Brianna Westrup  share this week’s ACC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
 
Jarrett made the most of her time on the field in the Cavaliers’ win at No. 11/15 Penn State on Sunday as she scored the game winner in the 40th minute, which also put Virginia ahead 2-0. The win kept the Cavaliers undefeated on the season at 7-0-0, and gave the ACC its ninth win over a ranked opponent this season.
 
Bollinger continued her impressive redshirt freshman season with a pair of shutouts this week as Florida State blanked Florida (1-0) and South Alabama (2-0). She had a pair of outstanding saves against Florida while the match remained tied at 0-0, enabling the Seminoles to take the lead in the 88th minute. She helped seal the win over the Gators by leaping to catch a long-range free kick in the final 15 seconds as UF looked to force overtime. Bollinger also posted two saves against South Alabama.
 
While contributing on offense, Westrup found the back of the net at the 5:43 mark to give Virginia the early lead against Penn State. She also played a key role in keeping the Nittany Lions off the board till late in the second half and preserving the 2-1 victory. Westrup helped the Cavaliers to their fourth shutout of the season against Liberty while helping to limit the Flames to one shot for the game.
 
ACC teams open conference play this week with games beginning Friday, Sept. 14.
