GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Notre Dame graduate forward Olivia Wingate was selected the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Soccer Offensive Players of the Week, while Irish graduate goalkeeper Mackenzie Wood and Florida State junior goalkeeper Cristina Roque earned ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Wingate scored twice and handed out a pair of assists in a pair of wins over NC State and nationally-ranked Florida State. After she posted an assist in the Irish’s 3-0 home victory over the Wolfpack on Thursday, the striker scored two goals and posted an assist in a 4-0 home triumph over the Seminoles. Entering Sunday, FSU had allowed just four goals all season.
Wood totaled six saves and pair of clean sheets last week, headlined by a five-save effort in Notre Dame’s 4-0 victory over Florida State on Sunday. Prior to the win against the Seminoles, she made one stop in a 3-0 win over NC State last Thursday.
Roque posted 10 saves in Florida State’s narrow 1-0 road victory over nationally-ranked Virginia last Thursday. The 10 saves tied the highest save total in a conference match this season, as she totaled six stops in the second half to preserve the clean sheet. The shutout was just the third the Cavaliers have faced this season.
There are seven games on the conference schedule this week, beginning on Thursday night with doubleheader on ACC Network. Duke visits Florida State at 6 p.m., while Virginia travels to Virginia Tech for an 8 p.m. kickoff. On Friday, Wake Forest takes on North Carolina and Clemson hits the road to Syracuse. Both contests can be found on ACC Network Extra. The women’s soccer weekend concludes at 7 p.m. on Sunday. Miami visits NC State, Notre Dame travels to Louisville and Pitt heads to Boston College.
