PRINCETON, N.J. -- On the first weekend of women’s soccer play, reigning League champion Penn picked up where it left off a season ago and posted two wins, a task equaled only by the Brown Bears as all eight Ivy teams played two games over the weekend.
The Quakers opened with a win over UMBC (3-0) and followed with a win against Delaware (2-0). Marin McDermott led the Penn offense with a goal in both victories. Brown played at the Liberty Invitational and posted wins over Liberty (1-0) and Coastal Carolina (3-1). Eliza Marshall had a pair of goals in Brown’s win over Coastal Carolina.
Yale and Harvard also recorded wins over the weekend, with the Bulldogs downing Marist (2-0) in their season opener and Harvard posting a win over Elon (2-1) in its home-opener. With the win over Marist and a 0-0 tie versus Providence, Yale captured its Yale Soccer Classic Title. For Harvard, Elizabeth Weisman netted the game-winning goal with just 3:29 remaining.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Penn senior forward Marin McDermott (Rhinebeck,
N.Y.) led the Quakers to a pair of victories over the weekend by
scoring two goals and adding an assist for five points in wins over
UMBC (3-0) and Delaware (2-0). She scored a goal in each contest,
including the game-winning strike versus UMBC just over ten minutes
into the contest. Against Delaware, McDermott added an insurance
tally at the 24:16 mark to help ensure that Penn started its season
with back-to-back shutout wins for the first time since 1998.

Co-ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Brown freshman midfielder Allie Reilly
(Lawrenceville, N.J.) led the Bears to a 1-0 win over the host
Liberty Flames at the Liberty Invitational, scoring her first
career goal in the 51st minute. After teammate Louisa
Pitney collected the ball out of a pile in front of the
net, she passed it to Reilly who hit the far corner for her first
career goal and what proved to be the game-winning strike. Due to
attending mandatory orientation events, Reilly and three of her
teammates only appeared in the Liberty game over the weekend.

Bulldogs claimed the Yale Soccer Classic title with a 2-0 win over
Marist and a 0-0 tie versus Provience. Speck’s game-winning
effort came at 8:25.
