Eliza Beird, Audrey White Claim MIAA Women’s Soccer Player Of Week Honors
Hope College’s Eliza Beird and Audrey White have swept Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Women’s Soccer Players of the Week awards
The two teammates were honored after helping the Flying Dutch defeat two nationally
ranked opponents at the season-opening Illinois Wesleyan University tournament last
weekend in Bloomington, Illinois.
Beird, a senior back from Holland, Michigan (Black River), is the MIAA Defensive Player
of the Week. White, a sophomore midfielder from Hudsonville, Michigan (Hudsonville),
is the MIAA Offensive Player of the Week.
Beird recorded assists on both goals in Friday’s 2-1 win against No. 23-ranked Illinois
Wesleyan. Defensively, Hope limited Illinois Wesleyan to two shots.
White scored the game-winning goal during a 1-0 victory against fifth-ranked Ohio
Northern University on Saturday. She totaled three shots during the two matches.
This is the first MIAA weekly award for both Beird and White.
