Macon, GA. - For the second time this season, Florida Atlantic University women's soccer has swept the Player-of-the-Week honors. Trina Maso de Moya and Molly Keating were named the Offensive and Defensive Players-of-the-Week as announced by the Atlantic Sun office Monday afternoon.

Keating, a junior goalkeeper from Inverness, FL., has now won the Defensive Player-of-the-Week award three times this season (new program record) and five times in her career (also a program record). Keating helped lead the Lady Owls to a pair of wins over the University of Miami and Gardner-Webb University. Against Miami, Keating registered 10 saves to preserve the programs first win over the Hurricanes. She followed up that performance with one save for her seventh shutout of the season to lead the team to a share of its first A-Sun regular season title. Keating also lowered her goals against average to a paltry 0.86, and allowed only one goal in 180 minutes.

Maso de Moya, a senior forward from Miami, FL., was named the Offensive Player-of-the-Week for the first time in her soccer career as she scored two goals in leading the Lady Owls to victory. Maso de Moya scored the first goal in the 2-1 win over Miami and the game-winner in a 2-0 win over GWU to help lead the Lady Owls to a share of the A-Sun title, the programs first. Her goal against GWU broke the single season points record (40) and extended her consecutive points streak to a program record 10 straight games.

FAU has now won this award seven times this year by four different athletes, a new program record.

FAU starts play in the 2002 A-Sun Championship, hosted by Campbell University, on Friday after receiving a first round bye for being the second seed. The Lady Owls will play the winner of the Jacksonville/Samford match at 4:00 pm in Buies Creek, NC.
