CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Longwood graduate student forward Madison Fitzpatrick has been named Big South Co-Offensive Player of the Week and goalkeeper Brynn Clagett Freshman of the Week in women's soccer, the league announced Monday.
Fitzpatrick scored the only goal as Longwood knocked off UNC Asheville, 1-0, on the road on Friday, ending the Bulldogs' six-match winning streak. The Nokesville. Va., native finished a play started by Peyton Curney and Sam Fischer for her team-leading third goal of the season in the 53rd minute.
Clagett made six saves, three in each half, to post her third consecutive clean sheet against UNC Asheville. She stopped a penalty kick from Asheville's Lilly Graumann, diving to her left to parry the attempt after the Lancers took the lead eight minutes earlier.
Fitzpatrick has appeared in all 14 matches this season, making 13 starts. In 726 minutes, she has two game-winning goals.
In eight matches this season — all starts — Clagett, of Frederick, Md., is 5-3-0 with a 0.86 goals-against average, .778 save percentage, 21 saves and five shutouts.
The Big South weekly honor, which Fitzpatrick shares with Katelyn Economopoulos of USC Upstate, is the first of her career. The Freshman of the Week honor is the first of Clagett's career. she was named Big South Defensive Player of the Week last week.
