CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Announced by the league office on Tuesday, two Notre Dame players tabbed Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors. Junior forward Izzy Engle was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Week and junior goalkeeper Sonoma Kasica was named the ACC Goalkeeper of the Week.
The junior duo helped guide the No. 18 Irish to a 1-0 win over No. 14 Virginia on last Thursday.
Kasica finished with four saves and her third shutout of the season, which is the 15th shutout of her career. This is her second ACC Goalkeeper of the Week honor this season as she is second in the ACC with 4.44 saves per game (40 total saves).
Engle's game-winning goal in the 83rd minute secured the upset win. The 2025 ACC Offensive Player of the Year is second on the team with four goals across seven matches played so far this season.
The Irish are back in action on Thursday, Oct. 15 as they host the Pitt Panthers at 7 PM at Alumni Stadium.
3rd shutout of the season and now a 2x ACC Goalkeeper of the Week! #GoIrish☘️ https://t.co/qzzM1KRXq8
