PRINCETON, N.J. -- The chase for the 2011 Ivy
title hits full speed this weekend when the first four League games
of the season take place.
Harvard and Cornell will host Ivy games on Friday night, with the
Crimson welcoming the Quakers and the Big Red playing host to the
Lions. On Saturday, Yale plays at Princeton and then Ivy action
concludes on Sunday when Dartmouth travels to Brown.
After winning the 2010 title, the Penn Quakers enter Ivy play
looking to win back-to-back League championships for the first time
in program history.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Yale senior midfielder Enma Mullo (Floral Park,
N.Y.) had an impactful week in the middle of the park for the
Bulldogs, helping Yale to a 2-1-0 record in three games. She
notched at least a point in each contest and finished with two
goals and an assist for a five-point week.
Mullo scored the game-winning goal in Yale’s 2-1 win against
Vermont midway through the second half when she settled a long
cross, took two dribbles and fired a shot inside the near post at
74:17. She also scored Yale’s only goal against Boston
University and assisted on Melissa Gavin’s
game-winning strike against Quinnipiac. Mullo is Yale’s first
Ivy League Player of the Week since Becky Brown shared the honor on
Oct. 11, 2010.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Brown freshman midfielder Chloe Cross (Seattle,
Wash.) helped lead Brown to a 1-1-0 record on the week by
registering at least a point in each game. In Brown’s 1-0
road win at New Hampshire on Thursday, Cross scored her first
career goal with just 6:07 left in regulation to lift the Bears to
the win. She took the ball down the ride side, beat her defender
and then launched a hard-struck shot to the left side of the net
from the top right corner of the box. Then on Sunday, Cross
assisted on Brown’s game-tying goal as the Bears came back
from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game at 2-2 before ultimately losing
to Sacred Heart, 3-2.
Cross, who has seen increasing minutes in each game as she proves
to be a valuable spark off the bench, becomes the second Brown
player to earn Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors this season
with Allie Reilly having shared the honor on Sept.
5.
