SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – With a pair of wins last week the Wentworth Institute of Technology women's soccer team ran its win streak to seven games and today two players who played key roles in those wins were honored by the Commonwealth Coast Conference. Sophomore Emily Richard (Fremont, N.H.) was named the league's offensive player of the week while freshman Micaela Robinson was named the league's rookie of the week for the second time in three weeks.

Richard scored a pair of goals in the Leopards' 4-1 win over the University of New England, which moved the Black & Gold into a tie for second place. Richard scored the game's first goal, coming in the 20th minute, and added her second of the game to round out the scoring in the 65th minute. She now has four goals and an assist in 13 games.

Continuing her stellar play this season, Robinson earned her second rookie of the week honor of the season after posting a 0.50 goals against average and a .900 save percentage. She made five saves to earn her third solo shutout in a 2-0 win at Framingham State and had four saves in the win over the University of New England. Robinson has a 10-2-1 record with a 0.53 goals against average and a .857 save percentage. In addition to her three solo shutouts, she's been a part of six other shutouts.

Sitting at 12-2-1 overall and 5-1 in CCC play, Wentworth's 12 wins are the most since the 2005 season. The Leopards travel to Endicott on Wednesday night.
