Estrada tabbed for Player of the Week honors
Senior striker Yaritza Estrada earned her second career Player of the Week honor
BELLEVUE, Neb. - Bellevue senior striker Yaritza Estrada (Omaha, Neb.) has been named the MCAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for her performance this past week, as announced by the conference. It is the second such honor for Estrada with the other coming on Oct. 10, 2011 during her freshman season.
This past week Estrada was one of three Bruins – along with senior Mercy Darkoah (Sheffield, England) and junior Betsy Fischenich (Omaha, Neb.) – to record hat tricks in an 11-0 victory over Central Christian College to open MCAC play for BU. It was the first hat trick of her collegiate career and she also added an assist in the match for a career-high 7-point performance.
Estrada currently ranks third on the team with five goals and 14 points while ranking in a three-way tie for third with four assists on the season. Bellevue is currently 9-1-0 on the season, 1-0-0 in MCAC competition, and receiving votes in the most recent Coaches' Poll.
Bellevue will return to action on Wednesday, Oct. 8 when they put their 11-match home win streak on the line against MCAC foe College of Saint Mary at 7:00 p.m. at Tranquility Park in Omaha, Neb.
