WASHINGTON — The Atlantic 10 Conference selected Saint Joseph’s senior Jayda Shehadi as the Under Armour Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week while Saint Louis junior Eva Schreiber received Defensive Player of the Week honors. VCU freshman Isabelle Franklin was named the Rookie of the Week. The awards were announced on Monday for games played from Sep. 1-7.
Shehadi, a midfielder from Mays Landing, N.J., lifted Saint Joseph’s past city rival Temple on Thursday with two goals in just 29 minutes off the bench. She delivered the first goal of the match in the 73
rd minute, rising above the mixer to head in a free kick to give SJU a 1-0 lead. Four minutes later with the game knotted at 1-1, Shehadi collected a loose ball off another free kick and netted the game-winner for her first career brace.
Schreiber, a defender from Nashville, Tenn., helped Saint Louis go 2-0 on the week by anchoring a pair of tremendous showings from the team’s back line. The Billikens allowed just two shots in goal in a 2-1 victory over Missouri State on Thursday, before shutting out SIUE 3-0 on Sunday while preventing a single shot on goal.
Franklin, a freshman from Fort Meade, Md., assisted on two of VCU’s three goals on the week, including the game-winning goal against Navy. Franklin set up Tatum Scialdone’s goal with five minutes remaining on the clock to beat Navy 2-1 on Thursday, adding an assist on the Rams’ lone goal of a 2-1 loss on Sunday.
