Heffron Named ODAC Player of the Week

Forest, Va. – Roanoke College's Lauren Heffron has been named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Field Hockey Player of the Week.

Heffron, a freshman from Glen Allen, Va., scored three times as Roanoke posted a 2-1 record that included a victory in its conference opener. Heffron provided the offense in that first win of the week against Bridgewater, chipping the Eagles' keeper just before halftime in the Maroons' 1-0 triumph. She then found the back wall of the cage twice in a 5-0 win over Transylvania, scoring the game's opening goal in the fourth minute and capping off the effort in the 41st minute. For the season, Heffron has registered nine points on four goals and an assist.

Roanoke is back in action on Saturday when it hosts Virginia Wesleyan at Noon.
