ST. LOUIS – Freshman Libby Helverson (West Des Moines, Iowa) of the Drake University women's soccer team has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Soccer Newcomer of the Week, the MVC office announced Monday, Oct. 22.
Helverson, a midfielder, was the hero in Drake's win over Indiana State Sunday, scoring her first career goal in a 3-2 comeback win. Helverson's game-winner was a golden goal in the 95th minute. It came after junior Shelley Lyjak's took a shot and the Sycamores' goalkeeper, Hannah Sullivan, was unable to hold onto the ball.
