WOMEN'S SOCCER - DEFENSIVE
Principia College's Lauren Wienecke, a senior from Tulsa, Okla. (Jenks), has been named the Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for the week of October 10-16.
Wienecke, a center back, started and was the lone Principia player to play all 90 minutes in both games last week. She helped anchor a defense that recorded two shutouts last week. Principia defeated Spalding University, 6-0, and Blackburn College, 9-0.
"Lauren [Wienecke] is a very consistent player," said Principia head coach Jess Semnacher. "She is very graceful in her movements, passes with precision and shows great composure in the backline on and off the ball."
