GREENSBORO, N.C. - Wake Forest women's soccer player Jill Hutchinson was named ACC Co-Player of the Week for her performance in WFU's 3-2 upset over No. 10 Florida State last Thursday.
Hutchinson, who hails from Wayne, Pa., played a key role in No. 22 Wake Forest's 3-2 upset triumph over 10th-ranked Florida State last Thursday as she tallied four points on two goals. The sophomore forward scored the equalizer at the 60:58 mark and after a 45-minute delay due to inclement weather, she netted the game-winner with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Teammate Ashley Burney sent a cross to Hutchinson, whose first shot was blocked, but she was able to grab the rebound and send the ball to the back in the net.
The honor is Hutchinson's second for the season. In late September she took the award for her performance against Brown and West Virginia. Hutchinson shares this week's honors with Natalie Crutchfield of Boston College. In her first start of the season the Acton, Mass. native tallied the lone goal in BC's 1-0 win over No. 3 Virginia on Sunday.
The Demon Deacons (9-5-3, 4-2-2 ACC) are on the road Thursday, traveling to NC State for a 7 p.m. meeting. Wake Forest then returns home to host Miami at Spry Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m., with the match-up also being webcast on ACCSelect.com.
