GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senior midfielder Dana Dobbie has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week, announced April 21 by the conference office. The Guelph, Ontario native picked up a hat trick in both games last week and secured 19 draw controls which were more than Maryland's entire opposition in the two games.

Dobbie has won the award three times this season which leads the conference. Two of her honors were shared with other players. With six total honorees, the Terps dominated the Player of the Week count as no other team has garnered more than a pair of wins.

Dobbie dominated the field in Maryland's two wins last week. Against No. 9 Georgetown, she scored three goals and added three ground balls and nine draw controls which equaled the entire Hoya team. She then continued her dominance in the circle with 10 more draw controls against the Hokies as the Terps held a 20-5 advantage in draws. She also scored a hat trick against Virginia Tech.

Dobbie's six goals tied for the team lead in the two games and her 19 draws were more than the Hoyas and Hokies had combined which was 14. Dobbie, who leads the nation in draw controls, has picked up eight or more in five of the last six games and has secured at least 10 three times this year.

Maryland, which earned the top seed in this weekend's ACC Championship, will play in the semifinals on Friday night at 5:30 p.m. The Terps will face the winner of the quarterfinal game between No. 11 North Carolina or Boston College.
