Katy Cross named Ivy League Player of Week
The Penn women's soccer team's one-woman wrecking crew that is junior Katy Cross keeps on rolling.
Cross recently earned Ivy League Player of the Week honors for her play against Lehigh Thursday, when she contributed on all five of Penn's goals in a 5-2 victory over the Engineers. Cross tallied four goals against Lehigh, while dishing out the fifth assist.
With this effort, Cross broke the program record for points in a game. Earlier in the season against UNC-Greensboro, Cross also became Penn's career leader in points and goals. The junior also holds the single-season record for points (34) and goals (14).
With Saturday's game against Princeton remaining, Cross has 13 goals and 32 points on the season. She also leads the Quakers with six assists.
After Penn's most recent 2-1 loss at Brown on Saturday, the Quakers stand at 8-5-3 overall, 2-3-1 in Ivy play.
Princeton enters Saturday's game with a 11-1-3 record, 4-1-1 in the Ivy League.
