Sept. 10, 2007

Philadelphia, Pa. - Fordham University junior forward Katie Sanchez (Flushing, N.Y./The Mary Louis Academy) was named Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Co-Player of the Week for the week ending September 9th. This is Sanchez's first weekly honor this season and fourth of her career. She shared the honor with Temple's Wendy Halina.

Sanchez continued her stellar start to 2007, notching a goal in each of Fordham's contests this past weekend. She scored the game-winning goal in overtime on Friday at Lafayette, and then followed with a goal at Manhattan in a 1-1 tie on Sunday.

Sanchez currently leads Fordham with three goals and six points this season, and has climbed up the Fordham career scoring lists, ranking fifth in career goals (21) and fourth in career points (52).

The Fordham Women's Soccer team (2-0-1) will next be in action twice this weekend, as they have their first two home contests. They will host Stony Brook at 7:00 PM on Friday, September 14th, and then Seton Hall at 1:00 PM on Sunday, September 16th.
