Becca Rojek, DePauw University, Field Hockey (Defensive)


BECCA ROJEK OF DEPAUW UNIVERSITY, a senior defender from Deerfield Ill., has been selected as the SCAC Field Hockey Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played Monday, October 20 through Sunday, October 26.

Rojek led the Tiger defense to two conference wins this weekend on the road against Hendrix and Rhodes and a home win over Oberlin earlier in the week. Showing outstanding tackling skill both in the open field and inside the circle Rojek was part of a defensive unit that gave up only 15 shots and 11 corners for the weekend and 20 and 16, respectively, for the week.

Rojek played all minutes in both SCAC victories including overtime and did an exceptional job keeping the offense at bay as the Tigers picked up their 4th shutout of the season.
