Dara Nielsen Named ECAC Goalie of the Week (9/13/05)

 Behrend’s Dara Nielsen (Glenshaw/Fox Chapel) has been named Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) goalkeeper of the week.  In addition to this honor, Dara is also the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) goalkeeper of the week.  She helped the Behrend Lions to a 2-0 week in which she yielded just a single goal. 

"I'm happy for Dara that she has been named ECAC goalkeeper of the week. She has been playing well this season and has had some big saves for us in recent games," said head coach Patrick O'Driscoll.

Nielsen’s dominant week included shutting out Westminster and holding Case Western scoreless in overtime to help secure a 2-1 win.  Her two shutouts in four games currently leads the AMCC. 

The Behrend Lions hit the road for their next two games, playing September 13 at Carnegie Mellon and September 17 at Mt. Union.  The next home game for the blue and white is September 22 at 4:30 p.m. against Allegheny.
