College Roundup: Navy's Woodward honored by Patriot League

NAVY WOMEN'S SOCCER: Freshman midfielder Margaret Woodward earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors, announced by the conference office on Monday. Woodward also garnered the NAAA Athlete of the Week.

In her first collegiate game, Woodward came off the bench for the Mids in the 74th minute against UMBC in the season opener and made an instant impact 10 minutes later. After classmate Mary August (Rockbridge Academy) tallied the equalizing goal in the 83rd minute, Woodward headed in her first career goal off a corner kick in the 85th minute for the game-winning goal. The Palm Harbor, Florida native capped off Navy's run of three-straight goals, in a span of 18 minutes, to defeat the Retrievers, 3-2.
