Cynthia Morse, Centre College, Field Hockey (Defensive)


CYNTHIA MORSE OF CENTRE COLLEGE, a sophomore defensive midfielder from Louisville Ky., has been selected as the SCAC Field Hockey Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12.

Morse and the Colonels recorded two shutouts over SCAC rivals Rhodes College and Sewanee-University of the South this week en route to their ninth and tenth wins on the season. Morse, a sophomore, played a superior match against Rhodes in Centre's 3-0 win on Friday, and combined with senior Alison Pierce (Damariscotta, Me.) to dominate their side of the pitch. Morse also recorded her fourth assist on the season as she combined with junior Rachel Watkins (Chicago, Ill.) for the Colonels final goal of the contest. 

On Sunday, Morse played another solid match as she did her part in limiting the Tigers to only seven shots. Centre went on to win 1-0 in overtime.
