CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Announced by the league office on Tuesday, sophomore forward Izzy Engle has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Engle helped guide the Irish to a 4-3 win over No. 22 North Carolina and a 5-1 win at Clemson. The sophomore finished the week with three goals and an assist for seven points on the week.
Engle has been an absolute offensive force for the Irish and it wasn’t any different against the top-25 Tar Heels as she put the Irish on the board with her ninth goal of the season in Thursday’s win.
On Sunday evening at Clemson, Engle recorded her ninth multi-goal match of her career as she finished with a brace in the fourth conference win of the season. She converted on a penalty kick to put the Irish on the board and scored again on a header in the 72nd minute. Engle’s brace and assist gave her an impressive five points on the night.
She has now scored 11 goals this season, the most of any player in the ACC so far this year as she is tied for second nationally. The All-American sophomore has scored 30 career goals in just 32 games played.
The #2 Irish are back at home this Friday as they host Louisville at 6:o0 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.
