PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Seton Hall netted a pair of BIG EAST women's soccer weekly awards as senior Taylor Wilson (Rahway, N.J.) was named Offensive Player of the Week and while Elizabeth Bond (Glenside, Pa.) was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week for the second straight week. The announcements were made on Monday.
Wilson tallied the game-winning goal in overtime against Georgetown on Friday, and assisted on the Pirates' other two scores in a 3-2 victory to begin the BIG EAST portion of their schedule. Her goal on Sunday at Villanova was the only tally of the game as the Pirates defeated the Wildcats, 1-0. Wilson now has three goals on the season, all of which are game-winning scores.
Bond earned the prestigious distinction after registering 10 saves in a 2-0 week for the Pirates. The senior made five saves in a 3-2 victory over Georgetown on Friday. At Villanova on Sunday, Bond registered her second shutout of the season and number 6.5 for her career, which ranks her fourth all-time at Seton Hall.
The Pirates are now 6-1-2 overall and 2-0 in BIG EAST Conference play. Their overall record is the best start to a season for Seton Hall since 2004.
Wilson, Bond and the rest of the Pirates will return to action on Friday as they travel to West Virginia. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Morgantown.
