POWER NAMED TO SOCCER BUZZ NATIONAL ELITE TEAM OF THE WEEK
Senior scored eight points in two weekend contests

RICHMOND, Va.—The honors keep rolling in for Virginia Commonwealth University women’s soccer player Stephanie Power (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). Power was one of 15 players named to the National Elite Team of the Week by Soccer Buzz Magazine Tuesday evening. It is the second time in Power’s career that she has received the honor. Earlier in the week, Power was named CAA Player of the Week.

Power notched eight points in two VCU victories over the weekend, including a five-point effort against Bucknell on Sunday. Power registered a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win at Loyola on Friday. She added two goals and an assist on the game-winner in the Rams’ 3-2 victory over Bucknell.

VCU (2-4-0) will look to add to its two-game winning streak this weekend. The Rams host Wofford at 6 p.m. Friday at SportsBackers Stadium. VCU will then hit the road for a 1 p.m. Sunday match-up against Navy.
