Julie Scheidler Named BIG EAST Defensive Player Of The Week
From Und.com
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Notre Dame junior defender Julie Scheidler (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard) has been selected as the BIG EAST Conference Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced Monday afternoon by the league office. This marks the first time in Scheidler's career that she has earned the award, and she is the second Notre Dame defender this season to collect the honor for the first time. Back on Sept. 28, sophomore center back/tri-captain Jessica Schuveiller (Plano, Texas/Plano West) was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week before going on to secure a place on the Soccer America National Team of the Week one day later. Last weekend, Scheidler played an important role in a pair of 2-0 wins for Notre Dame over conference foes Villanova and No. 22 (Soccer America) Georgetown at Alumni Stadium. In Friday's victory over Villanova, the Fighting Irish right back not only helped anchor a defensive unit that held the Wildcats to just two shots on goal through the first 75 minutes, but also assisted on the game-clinching goal by junior forward Erica Iantorno (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale) in the 71st minute.
