Player of the Week October 8th-13th: Leah Brossoit

Leah Brossoit has be consistently improving her game all season, but she is awarded this week's "Player of the Week" for her two outstanding performances against UW Stout on Wednesday and Augsburg on Saturday.

Leah's direct kicks and corners against UW Stout were tremendous.  She has clearly been a threat off restarts all season long-already assisting on a corner in the St. Benedict's game-she continues to put the ball in dangerous spots for her teammates to potentially score.  She did just that against UW Stout to assist on Brittany Chase's goal that night, dropping the ball on the far side of the box behind the line from about 30 yards out.   Her shut down, patient defense has been a staple of her play, especially through the last few games.  She has stepped up her back-check of late, never giving up on any ball that may squeak past her.  She runs it down, gets in front and is a pest to any forward.  She is aggressive and great out of the air, which has made our entire defense stronger.  Not only is she solid behind the ball, but gets involved in the attack; looking to make runs down the flank and play balls into the box.  She showed that prowess a few times against Augsburg early, and they changed their style of play to combat her forward movement.  Congratulations Leah on a well deserved Player of the Week!  ...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
