Boston, MA. – UMBC freshman forward
Brooke Clagett was named the America East Women's Soccer Co-Rookie of the Week, announced on Monday by the league office.
In a key America East Conference matchup at a rain-soaked Retriever Soccer Park on Sunday, Clagett scored the equalizer early in the second half to help propel the Retrievers to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the visiting New Hampshire Wildcats.
UMBC drew even nine minutes into the second half as Clagett made a tremendous individual play along the right endline after a give-and-go with sophomore midfielder
Delainey Proctor. Clagett beat her defender to the ball, cut back to the middle, and then beat the UNK keeper with a shot to the left corner while sliding to the ground.
Clagett is second in the America East Conference with five goals, including a league-best three game-winners. She was named the league's Offensive and Rookie of the Week on August 17.
The Dawgs, currently ranked a league-high No. 167 in the latest NCAA RPI rankings, travel to NJIT on Thursday evening before returning to Retriever Soccer Park to host UAlbany on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
