HINCK NAMED ADIDAS/NORTHEAST CONFERENCE WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – After scoring two game-winning goals over the weekend, Bryant women's soccer junior Kaitlyn Hinck (Bow, N.H.) was named the adidas/Northeast Conference Player of the Week, announced by the league Monday afternoon.

As this week's adidas/NEC Player of the week, the New Hampshire native helped lead the Bulldogs to a pair of shutout wins over Robert Morris and Saint Francis (PA), keeping Bryant undefeated in conference play (3-0-1).   

Hinck kicked off the weekend by netting the opening goal in Bryant's 2-0 win over Robert Morris on Friday. With the game scoreless in the 22nd minute, the forward travelled down the left flank, eluded a pair of defenders and chipped a shot over the head of the Colonial keeper for the eventual game-winner.

In Bryant's 1-0 win over Saint Francis (PA) on Sunday, the junior's game winner came in the 16th minute. Teammate Alyssa Kozlowski (Ellicott City, Md.) made a run down the left side before launching a cross along the end line. The freshman's assist sailed past the Red Flash keeper and Hinck made good of the opportunity, heading it into the empty net for her third goal of the season.

This is the first weekly conference honor for Hinck who now has 13 goals in her collegiate career and is tied for team lead in scoring this season with three tallies.

The Bryant women's soccer team, which has yet to allow a goal in conference play, returns to the field on Friday, Oct. 15 when it travels to Wagner at 3:00 p.m.
