LYNCHBURG, Va. – Liberty's Clarisa Iudicello garnered her third BIG EAST Conference Field Hockey Freshman of the Week award.
Iudicello, who scored the game-winning goal in the Lady Flames' road win at Providence last Friday, receives her second BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honor in the last three weeks. In addition to Iudicello's distinction, sophomore Julieta Tornati earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition for a third time this season.
Iudicello, a midfielder, scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the Lady Flames' 3-1 triumph over the Providence Friars. The standout freshman's goal was her 10th of the year, most on the team. After the Friars tied the game at 1-1 early in the third quarter, Iudicello broke the tie with her goal in the 38th minute. Sophomore Paris-Gail Isaacs drove the left baseline and sent the ball to Iudicello, who made a challenging reception and finished into the right side of the cage.
Iudicello became the fifth freshman in program history to score 10 or more goals in a single season. The Córdoba, Argentina native ranks 28th nationally and fourth in the BIG EAST in goals per game (0.71). She paces the squad in goals (10) and points (22) while appearing in all 14 games (all starts).
Tornati scored her seventh goal of the year at Providence. The sophomore midfielder's tally came at the 27:15 mark, a penalty corner goal into the left side that was assisted by Morena Giacosa and Kyleigh Faust and put the visitors ahead 1-0 at the time.
Tornati and the Liberty defense limited the Friars' attack to one goal and 10 total shots in the contest. In three BIG EAST wins, Liberty has yielded only three goals. In 14 contests this year, all starts, Tornati is tied for second on the team with seven goals and ranks third in points (17).
Liberty has earned 14 BIG EAST weekly awards through eight weeks of the 2026 campaign.
Iudicello, Tornati and No. 12 Liberty (10-4, 3-1 BIG EAST) will host Temple (6-9, 1-3 BIG EAST) in their final home BIG EAST regular season contest, Friday afternoon. The contest is set to start at 2 p.m. from the Liberty Field Hockey Field.
