Elmhurst sweeps women's soccer player of the week honors

NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Elmhurst’s Valerie Wesley and Maddie Fitzpatrick
were named the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW)
Women’s Soccer Players of the Week Tuesday.

Wesley, a senior forward from Chula Vista, Calif., and the Academy of
our Lady Peace (Nusing major), had a goal and an assist during a 2-1
overtime win over fourth-ranked and previously unbeaten Wheaton on
Saturday. Wesley tallied an assist on the game-tying goal with just
two minutes left in regulation and then scored the game-winner less
than two minutes into the second overtime. She leads the Bluejays in
goals (nine), assists (six) and points (23).

Fitzpatrick, a freshman goalkeeper from Downers Grove, Ill., and
Downers Grove North High School (Pre-Nursing major), registered a
season and career-high 14 saves in net for the Bluejays during their
win over Wheaton on Saturday. After allowing a goal in the 29th
minute, Fitzpatrick recorded 11 consecutive saves, keeping Wheaton off
the scoreboard for the remainder of the game and allowing the Bluejays
to rally.
