NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — For the first time in her career, Davidson junior Julianne Carey has been named the Atlantic 10’s Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.

This is the eighth weekly award of Carey’s career, as the attacker won seven Rookie of the Week honors during her debut season. 

In a 1-1 week for the Wildcats, including a match up with #11 Duke, Carey won 12 total draw controls, three of which came up against the NCAA’s all-time leading draw taker. With four goals and one assists in a 13-8 win over Coastal Carolina on Sunday, Carey helped lead the ‘Cats to their second victory of the season and recorded the 100th point of her career.

Carey and the Wildcats will be back in action on the road on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. when they take on Mercer.
