Sept. 1, 1999

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Senior tri-captain Emily Janss (Brandon, Fla.) was named to the Soccer America Women's Team of the Week for the week ending August 29. Janss was honored after scoring Maryland's first and what proved to be game-winning goal in the Terps' season-opening 2-0 win at George Washington last Saturday.

It is the second time in Janss' career she has taken home the honor, also earning it for the week of Sept. 28, 1998.

Janss, who has played most of her career on defense has been moved to midfield to start this season under new head coach Shannon Higgins-Cirovski. Last season, Janss was an All-ACC second-team selection for the second year in a row. She scored four goals for eight points in 1998.

The Terps travel to California for the USC/FILA Tournament this weekend. Maryland will play host USC on Saturday at 4 p.m., Eastern time and UCLA on Monday at 4 p.m.
