Albion’s Sarnecky and Trine’s Veljovic Claim Women’s Soccer Awards

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) named Albion forward Domenique Sarnecky and Trine goalkeeper Kristina Veljovic as the league’s Women’s Soccer Players of the Week for matches through Oct. 4. 

Sarnecky, a junior from Canton, ended the week by scoring a hat trick in a 3-0 triumph over Adrian on Saturday. She tallied goals from a teammate’s crossing pass, corner kick and direct pass - all in the first half against the Bulldogs. Sarnecky finished two starts during the week with three goals, four shots on goal and five shot attempts following the victory and a 1-0 loss to Kalamazoo earlier in the week. 

 

 

 

Veljovic, a sophomore from Valparaiso, Ind., made a dozen saves in a 2-1 setback to Alma last week. It marked her second straight match that was extended into overtime where she logged 11 or more saves.  Veljovic owns one shutout this season and a 1.58 goals against average in 2015.
