NEW YORK - After playing 214 minutes and notching her first collegiate goal to help Xavier to an unbeaten record last week, Allison Klimkowski was named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week by the conference offices on Monday.
The Centerville, Ohio native played the full 110 minutes of the 0-0 double overtime draw against Butler on Thursday. The result against the Bulldogs was the first by any BIG EAST team this season, and the first time BU had been shutout in conference play. Klimkowski has started every game for a Xavier defense that has forced six shutouts this season.
