Emma Yakim Named Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Week

TOWSON, Md. - Freshman Emma Yakim (Bel Air, Md./Bel Air) of the Goucher College women's soccer team was named the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon as she helped the Gophers to a 3-0 week with three goals and an assist.

Yakim totaled a hat trick with three goals in Saturday's 9-0 victory at Notre Dame (Md.).  She scored the game's first goal just 5:46 into the contest, then added her second goal 11 seconds after halftime.  Her third goal came in the 66th minute to make it 7-0.

Yakim also assisted on the first goal of the game in the 69th minute in a come-from-behind, 2-1 win against Hood last Monday evening.

Goucher, winners of three straight, returns to action on Tuesday night when it travels to Alvernia University.  The Gophers return home and open Landmark Conference play on Saturday, September 25 when they host Elizabethtown at 1 pm at Beldon Field.
