COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College women's soccer junior
Scarlett Brookes (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) was named Northeast 10 Conference Player of the Week for the cycling ending with last week's regular-season finales. She landed the accolade for the second time this season.
Â
Brookes recorded a goal and an assist during a 3-0 victory at Saint Anselm College on Wednesday, clinching the Purple Knights the No. 3 seed and a home game in the NE10 Championship. With her team leading 1-0, Brookes lent the primary helper on a 68th-minute goal before netting one herself in the 70th minute. Saint Michael's proceeded to down No. 6 American International College, 2-0, in the NE10 Championship first round on Sunday.
Â
Brookes is third in the NE10 in goals (9) and fourth in points (22). She is fifth in program history in career goals (29) and seventh in points (67), and her 10 career game-winners tie
Sara Pope's '04 school mark.
Â
Now 9-2-5 overall, the Purple Knights visit No. 2 seed Bentley University on Thursday for an NE10 Championship semifinal at 1 p.m. Saint Michael's received votes toward last week's United Soccer Coaches national poll and sat fourth in this week's NCAA NPI East Region rankings. The Falcons were 15th in last week's national poll and are second in the NCAA NPI East Region rankings.
