NEW YORK - Senior goalkeeper Jaqi Kakalecik has been named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week after strong performances in two Temple wins against Rutgers and Saint Joseph's. Senior attacker Rachel Schwaab and senior midfielder Megan Tiernan were each named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll. For Kakalecik, the honor is her first of the season and second of her career.
Temple held both opponents last week to single-digit goals thanks to Kakalecik's effort in the cage, stopping 13 shots for a .500 save percentage in a 16-9 win over Rutgers and 16-4 victory against Saint Joseph's.
