BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University senior defender Sydney Dewhurst has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.
Dewhurst scored a pair of goals in two games for the Bears last week which included a 2-0 MASCAC win over Fitchburg State University. The East Bridgewater, Massachusetts native potted the game-winning goal in the victory over the Falcons and also found the back of the net in a tough 2-1 setback to regional power Brandeis University.
Through six games this season, Dewhurst has notched three goals and an assist for seven points. Two of her team-leading three goals have been game-winners.
Dewhurst is currently tied for the MASCAC lead in game-winning goals and is tied for fourth in both goals and scoring.
In 15 games over two seasons with the Bears, Dewhurst has amassed six goals (three game-winners) and four assists for 16 points.
The MASCAC Offensive Player of the Week honor marks the first of Dewhurst's career.
The BSU women's soccer team is currently 3-3 on the season and a perfect 2-0 in the MASCAC. The Bears entertain Roger Williams University on Wednesday night at seven o'clock.
