GREENSBORO, N.C. – Boston College senior goalkeeper Sarah Dwyer has been selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the ACC on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Â
Dwyer led the Eagles to a 1-0 win over No. 4 Duke, making three saves in 60 minutes of action. Late in the first quarter, the West Long Branch, New Jersey native made two sprawling back-to-back saves to keep the Eagles tied.
Â
The senior captain is having a stellar season in net, amassing a 7-2 record with a 0.84 goals against average and 0.814 save percentage in 10 appearances. Both her goals against average and save percentage are good for second in the nation.
Â
Dwyer has been lights out in net since Oct. 4 against Virginia. Since then, she's been 7-1 with a 0.500 goals against average and a 0.882 save percentage. In eight games, Dwyer has made 30 saves and given up only four goals with six shutouts.
Â
Boston College went 11-6 in the regular season and 4-2 in ACC play. The four wins are the most for the Eagles in conference play since joining the ACC and helped BC secure the No. 2 seed in the ACC Championships, beginning on Thursday, Nov. 7. BC will face off against the No. 7 seed Wake Forest in the first round at 2:30 p.m., live on ACC Network.
