Liberty and Old Dominion Lock Up #BIGEASTfh Weekly Honors

BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week
Marlon de Bruijne, Old Dominion, Sr., F (Den Bosch, Netherlands)
De Bruijne jumpstarted an electrifying Old Dominion offense on Friday against Queens with back-to-back goals in the opening nine minutes of the game. The senior forward later solidified an opening half hat trick in the 22nd minute, as Old Dominion went on to capture an 8-0 win. On Sunday, de Bruijne placed the Monarchs on the board against No.2 North Carolina, connecting with Frederique Zandenbergen for her first assist of the season. Overall, she has five goals and an assist to open her senior campaign.
 
BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
Jodie Conolly, Liberty, Grad., B (Newport News, Va.)
Conolly was involved in all three Liberty goals over the weekend, assisting on each one of them. In the 2-1 OT win against No. 14 Harvard, Conolly assisted on Milagros Arteta’s penalty corner goal at the 14:54 mark. The defender then set up the game winner in overtime (68:53 mark), sending a ball into the middle of the circle that was tipped by Martu Cian into the right side of the cage. Conolly’s two-assist game was her sixth career game with multiple assists and second in the last three games. On Sunday at Duke, Conolly set up Arteta’s fourth quarter goal with her team-best fifth assist of 2023. Conolly is now in solo seventh place in program history with 27 career assists in her time in a Liberty uniform.
 
BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Suus Broers, Old Dominion, Fr., GK (Utrecht, Netherlands)
For the second consecutive week Broers is the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week. In Friday’s lopsided win over Queens, the freshman goalkeeper registered her first collegiate shutout, while corralling a save in the win. Tested multiple times in Sunday’s affair with No. 2 North Carolina, Broers made a career-high 10 saves and limited the Tar Heels to just two goals in the outing.
