Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Maureen Kennedy has been named the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 8). Kennedy earns the honor for the first time this season and the fourth time in her BGSU career.
Additionally, Kennedy earned honorable mention on the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week.
Kennedy, a native of Cypress, Calif. (Los Alamitos H.S.), made major contributions at both ends of the field as the Falcons won two more matches to remain undefeated in the MAC. Kennedy led BGSU with four points on the weekend, and was involved in the scoring of the game-winning goal in both matches.
