Conference

Danielle Allan, Quinnipiac
Riverdale, NJ / Pompton Lakes
F
Freshman
5-1

Allan provided two first-half tallies, both of which proved to be the eventual game-winner, in Quinnipiac’s two NEC victories last week.  The freshman forward scored in the back-to-back victories that put the Bobcats on the cusp of clinching a spot in the upcoming NEC Tournament.  She scored in the 26th minute of Quinnipiac’s 6-1 win over Siena, extending the lead to 2-0 with her tally.  Then, Allan opened the game’s scoring, giving the Bobcats the only goal they would need, in a 2-0 blanking of Bryant.  The 5-foot-1 high forward put home a rebound exactly 19:00 into the contest against the Bulldogs.  She has five goals thus far this fall.

Sarah Bergman, Sacred Heart
Blandon, PA / Fleetwood Area
MF
Freshman
5-5

Bergman sparked Sacred Heart’s offense in a pair of victories that catapulted the Pioneers into the middle of the NEC Tournament race.  SHU started the week on the fringe of postseason contention, but Bergman’s effort helped change that.  The rookie midfielder was in a giving mood as she dished out four assists in wins over Siena and Bryant.  With Sacred Heart facing an early 1-0 deficit against Bryant, Bergman centered the ball to Lindsay Kasten who beat the keeper and evened the score at 1-1 in the eventual 3-2 win.  Two days later, the first-year Pioneer picked up three assists in a 4-0 blanking of Siena.  She hooked up with Kasten again to open the game’s scoring in the 9th minute, sending a pass to her teammate who one-timed it home.
