Barcia
scored with 2:11 left to propel the Rangers to a 5-4 victory over
Scranton on Saturday. The sophomore made an incredible diving
effort, one-timing a pass in the back of the cage for the eventual
game-winner. The goal was her second of the contest and her
Landmark Conference leading, 21st of the season. She now has eight
game-winning goals this year with three of them coming against
Landmark opponents. In Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Richard Stockton
she fed Brooke Gagliano in overtime to give the Rangers their 13th
win of the year. Her 21 goals this season tie her for the
fourth-most in school history. |

Catholic (So., M/D, Reading, Pa.) |

The
midfielder turned center back was huge this week leading Catholic
to a 2-0 record. The sophomore was instrumental in shutting down
the Randolph-Macon attack during the team's 4-0 shutout victory in
which the Cardinals allowed only three shots. Dennis then showed
her offensive prowess, scoring her first goal of the season with
the game-winning goal in a 2-1 Landmark victory over Juniata on
Saturday. Dennis and the Cardinals defense held Juniata to just
seven shots. |
