PRINCETON, N.J. -- Penn and Brown continued their respective strong starts to the 2011 women’s soccer season. The Quakers posted wins over Villanova (1-0) and Saint Joseph’s (2-0) to improve to 4-0-0 on the year, while the Bears downed cross-town rival Providence (2-0) and then tied Vermont (1-1) to move to 3-0-1 on the year.
Playing at the home of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, the Quakers earned the win over Villanova on the strength of freshman Megan York’s game-winning goal, scored just over three minutes into the second half. Sophomore Kerry Scalora, who notched a goal and an assist, keyed Penn’s win over Saint Joseph’s. The Quakers have now started a season 4-0-0 for just the second time in program history (also done in 1998 when they started the year 6-0-1).
Brown’s win over the Friars included two late tallies. Sophomore midfielder Sarah Hebert-Seropian struck on a free kick for the game winner at 76:46 before sophomore midfielder Maddie Weiner scored her first of the year just 37 seconds later.
Harvard also had a strong week as it improved to 3-1-0 on the season with wins over Massachusetts (2-1) and Connecticut (2-1). In the win over the Huskies, freshman Lauren Urke got the Crimson on the board just 1:25 into the contest and then junior Alexandra Conigliaro broke a 1-1 tie with a header from the doorstep at 54:56.
Other wins around the League included Princeton over Villanova (2-1) and Dartmouth over Vermont (2-1). All the scoring in Princeton’s win over the Wildcats came in the first half, with freshman Lauren Lazo scoring what proved to be the game-winning goal with 33 seconds to play in the first half. On the other hand, all the scoring in the Big Green’s win over the Catamounts came in the second half, with sophomore midfielder Chrissy Lozier netting the game-winning strike at 67:29.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Princeton junior forward Jen Hoy (Sellersville,
Pa.) led the Tigers over the weekend as they took on a pair of BIG
EAST foes. Hoy notched an assist in Princeton’s narrow 2-1
double overtime loss at Seton Hall on Friday. On Sunday, Hoy led
the Tigers to a 2-1 win over Villanova with a goal and an assist.
Against the Huskies, she put Princeton up 1-0 at 7:43. Then, with
the game tied 1-1, she picked up an assist on Lauren
Lazo’s game-winning strike when she combined with
Melissa Downey to send Lazo in on a breakaway.
Hoy becomes Princeton’s first Ivy League Player of the Week
since October 4, 2010 when Caitlin Blosser won the
award.

Co-ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Harvard freshman midfielder Lauren Urke (Medina,

Connecticut on Sunday, which extended the Crimson’s win
streak to three games and improved the team’s record to
3-1-0, its best start since 2001. Urke gave Harvard an early lead
with a goal just 85 seconds into the game. With the game tied, 1-1
in the second half, Urke assisted on the game winner, finding
Alexandra Conigliaro with cross pass for a goal at
54:56.
