Walker, Tocchet Collect CC Weekly Awards
SWARTHMORE, Pa. - Swarthmore College goalkeeper Lauren Walker '09 (Fallston, Mary. / The Hotchkiss School) was named Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week and forward Danielle Tocchet '08 (West Point, N.Y. / James I. O'Neill) was selected Offensive Player of the Week, as announced on Sept. 4.
Walker did not allow a goal in 164:04 of action at the 12th annual Swat Kick Classic this past weekend, making two saves. The junior posted her 10th career shut out in a 1-0 win over Catholic on Sept. 1 and was selected All-Tournament.
Tocchet, a team captain, was also named All-Tournament at the Swat Kick Classic after scoring twice in a 3-0 win over Neumann on Sept. 2. The senior captain hit for the eventual game-winner at 6:40 and then finished off a rebound 16 minutes later for an insurance score.
Swarthmore (2-0) has won its season-opening game for the 12th consecutive year, dating back to 1996.
