Molly Richardson -- HCAC Player of the Week

TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's and women's soccer teams each captured Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week accolades for their efforts over the weekend.

Freshman Molly Richardson (Orange Park, Fla./St. John's Country Day) scored both goals to lead Rose-Hulman to a pair of 1-0 women's soccer victories this weekend.

Senior Matt Trowbridge (Fort Collins, Colo./Poudre) poured in five goals, including a hat trick against Mt. St. Joseph and both goals in a 2-1 win at Defiance. 

Richardson scored in the 9th minute against Defiance to lead the Engineers to a victory on Saturday in their league opener.  She leads the HCAC with seven goals and 16 points this season.

On Sunday, Richardson scored at the 2:57 mark of sudden death overtime in Rose-Hulman's 1-0 victory over Mount St. Joseph.  The Engineers stand 6-2 overall this season and are 2-0 in HCAC contests.

Trowbridge scored the most dramatic goal of the HCAC weekend by burying an overtime winner with 17 seconds left at Defiance.  His second goal of the day lifted the Engineers to a 2-1 win.

Against Mount St. Joseph, Trowbridge scored the first two goals of the contest to lead the 6-0 victory.  He added a third goal for his second career hat trick in the second half.

Trowbridge leads the HCAC with nine goals and 20 points scored this season.
