LYNCHBURG, Va. – Liberty goalkeeper Rachel Hines was awarded the recognition as the ASUN Defensive Player of the Week thanks to a stellar performance in a 9-8 2OT loss at USF, the conference announced Monday.
The award marks Liberty's second Player of the Week honor this season. Sophia Nesci was named the ASUN Offensive Player of the Week on March 23. The Lexington, Va. native receives her third ASUN Defensive Player of the Week of her career, receiving two last season.
