Junior defensive player Victoria Kuzman (20 in Garnet) was named the UCAA “Player of the Week” after helping the Dutchwomen capture a pair of 1-0 victories over UCAA rivals Hamilton and William Smith, respectively.
Vicki became the fourth Dutchwomen to capture “Player of the Week” honors so far this season. Goaltender Carolyn Stead, Alaina LaRocca, and Brittany Cressman were the other three.
Kuzman (Guilderland, NY/Guilderland), who has been a starter since the first game of her freshman season, is expected to play basketball once the soccer season is over. The twin shutouts of Union's league rivals kept the Dutchwomen in the hunt for the opportunity to host the season-ending UCAA Championship Tournament. The winner of the regular-season will host the four-team event while tournament champion will capture the league's automatic bid to the NCAA's Championship Tournament. Union has been in the NCAA tournament each of the last three years.
