MARLBOROUGH, Mass.  – Senior
Madelyn Popilek of the No. 5 MIT women's soccer team was named the NEWMAC Women's Soccer Player Defensive Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 11. This is the first weekly award for Popilek, and the second overall this season for the Engineers, who currently sit in first place in the NEWMAC.
Popilek scored two goals while helping the No. 5 MIT women's soccer team go 2-0 in NEWMAC action with two shutout wins. Her goal against Salve Regina proved to be the game winner in the 1-0 game and she also added another in the Engineers' 6-0 win over Springfield. Overall the Engineers defense allowed just eight shots in two games with only three on target.
Overall she has set a career high with four goals this season. Popilek and the Engineers are back on the field tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14 as they welcome Clark to Roberts Field for a 6:00 PM contest.
