SBU's Curry Named A-10 Player of the Week

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – St. Bonaventure sophomore Molly Curry has been named the Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Player of the Week after scoring a game-winning goal and a game-tying goal last weekend to propel the Bonnies into this week's A-10 Championship.

With just two minutes left in the second overtime period against Massachusetts on Friday (Oct. 26), Curry put the game-winner in the back of the net for a 1-0 victory. On Sunday (Oct. 28) against Rhode Island, with the Bonnies playing with just 10 players for the entire second half, the Ransomville, N.Y., native tied the game in the 61st minute. Shannon Van Riper scored 16 minutes later, clinching a berth in the A-10 Championship for Bonaventure.

The award is the first of Curry's career, and second for a Bonaventure player this year as Van Riper claimed POW honors on Sept. 24.

Of Curry's four goals this season, three have been game-winners, while the fourth was a game-tying goal. The forward finished the regular season ranked second on the team in goals (4) and third on the club in points (8).

With the two victories last weekend, St. Bonaventure earned the No. 5 seed in the eight-team tournament and will face No. 4 Butler in the quarterfinal round, scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 1 at Rhode Island's Soccer Complex.
