To earn the award, Roebel was selected as the top female athlete in any sport at any institution during the month of October by league sports information directors. Each college is permitted one nominee for the entire athletic department per month, and the nine nominees are placed on one ballot for voting.

Roebel is the second consecutive Rose-Hulman women's soccer player to claim the award, after Molly Richardson earned the honor in September. 

She stands as the seventh Fightin' Engineer student athlete to capture Player of the Month honors in the college's two years in the HCAC.

Roebel helped lead the Engineers to a perfect 8-0 record in October for the team's first perfect month in school history.  Rose-Hulman clinched its first ever conference title during the month, and Roebel provided key offensive support with 11 goals that included a pair of three-goal performances.

The four-year all-conference honoree ranks second in school history with 53 goals and 122 points during her Fightin' Engineer playing career.

Rose-Hulman stands 19-2 overall and opens NCAA Division III Tournament play on Saturday against Denison University at Washington University of St. Louis.
