RICHMOND, Va. - Senior co-captain
Katie Ponce earned Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Player of the Week honors after leading the Towson women's soccer team to a 1-0-1 weekend on the road in conference action.
It is Ponce's first career weekly league honor and Towson's first this season.
She scored the game-winning goal at Delaware on Friday, Oct. 17 in Newark, Delaware. At 68:08, Ponce received a pass from freshman
Gabby Scirica just five yards from goal. She chipped it over the goalkeeper's head to give the Tigers their first conference win of the year. It was Towson's first victory over Delaware since 2009 and first win at Delaware since 2000. On Sunday, Oct. 19, Ponce scored the game-tying goal that forced overtime and a 2-2 draw as a result.
Ponce leads the Tigers with five goals on the year. She also has one assist for 11 points.
