Roanoke College women's soccer midfielder Emily Whitaker collects ODAC Player of the Week honors. This is the first time she has received the honor in her RC career.

Whitaker, a sophomore from Roanoke, Va., helped the Maroons to a pair of wins last week, including a 2-0 triumph over regionally-ranked Christopher Newport University.  Whitaker started off her week by assisting on a goal in a 3-0 win at Guilford.  The Maroons returned home to take on CNU, with Whitaker opening the scoring in the 17th minute via an unassisted effort.  She then dished out the assist on Anna Carter's tally in the 44th minute towards an eventual 2-0 win.  Whitaker has seven points on two goals and three assists this season.
 
The women's soccer team is back in action on Tuesday, October 27^th when they head to Winston-Salem, Nc. to take on Salem College at 4:00 p.m.
