Needham and Lorenzen Listed on GNAC Honor Roll

STANDISH, ME – The GNAC Weekly Honor Roll has been released and two Saint Joseph's Women's Soccer players have been honored.

Forward Jessica Needham '11 (East Bridgewater, MA) and goalkeeper Jaci Lorenzen '14 (Windham, ME) have been listed on the conference honor roll for their play during the September 13-19 reporting period.

Needham, who was selected as the GNAC Player of the Week for the first two weeks of the season, continued her torrid start to the 2010 campaign with three goals and two assists in a 2-0 week for the undefeated Monks. She tallied a goal and two assists in a 4-0 win over Pine Manor on September 15th and scored both SJC goals in a 2-1 victory over Lasell College two days later. Through five games this season, Needham has played a hand in 12 of the Monks' 19 goals and has seven goals, five assists and 19 total points through September 21st.

As of September 19th, Needham ranked sixth in all of NCAA DIII Women's Soccer in assists per game (1.0) and seventh in points per game (3.8).

Lorenzen was instrumental for the Royal Blue in a 2-0 week. The rookie keeper notched her third shutout of the young season with five saves against Pine Manor and made a career-high 11 stops, including two acrobatic plays late in the game, in a 2-1 triumph over Lasell College. Through five games, Lorenzen sports a miniscule 0.40 goals against average with two goals allowed in 450 minutes between the pipes. She is off to a 5-0 start to her career with three shutouts, 27 saves and a stellar .931 save percentage. She earned her first conference accolade after the last reporting period with a GNAC Goalkeeper of the Week honor.

Through September 19th, Lorenzen ranked 23rd in NCAA DIII Women's Soccer in save percentage and 28th in goals against average. With a 5-0 record, the Monks are currently one of just 15 NCAA DIII Women's Soccer programs with a perfect winning percentage.
