Poulin Named ACC Women's Soccer Co-Player Of The Week

Oct. 15, 2001

Greensboro, N.C. - Virginia senior midfielder Laura Gaworecki and Maryland sophomore forward Audra Poulin were named ACC Co-players of the Week in women's soccer after each scored important goals in this week's action. Gaworecki led the Cavaliers to a three-win week, including shutout victories over Maryland and George Mason. Against the Patriots, the senior from Houston, Texas tallied the lone goal of the game to lead the Cavs to the 1-0 result. With two wins under their belt, Virginia looked to Gaworecki again against James Madison, and the Texan found the back of the net twice more in the 4-1 decision.

Poulin,a native of Silver Spring, Md., only had one goal for the week, but it was self-described as one of the greatest moments of the young sophomore's life. The Terrapin forward collected a pass in overtime against Clemson and raced in front of the net to fire the game-winner past Lady Tiger goalkeeper Katie Carson in the 111th minute. The first goal of her career helped the Terrapins upend No. 8 Clemson 1-0 in a thriller at College Park. It marks just the ninth victory ever by Maryland over a Top 10 opponent.
