ROCK HILL, S.C. — Carson-Newman College’s Morgan Gruenenfelder has
been named the South Atlantic Conference Women’s Soccer Player of the
Week, conference officials announced today. This is the second time
Gruenenfelder has won the award.
Gruenenfelder, a freshman
midfielder from Sweetwater, TN (Sweet Water High School) scored three
goals to give Carson-Newman two crucial wins as the 2007 regular season
winds to a close. Gruenenfelder scored the Eagles’ third goal against
Lincoln Memorial, launching a 20-footer past the LMU keeper in the 77th
minute for the final margin of victory.
On Saturday at Flagler, Gruenenfelder scored C-N’s first goal in the
third minute of the game, then intercepted a Flagler pass in the 77th
minute, took two dribbles, and scored a goal in the top right corner of
the net to secure the 4-1 victory. The freshman from Sweetwater,
Tennessee now has ten goals in her rookie season.
The SAC Player of the Week is determined by a vote of the sports information directors of the league.
