IRVING, Texas -- East Carolina senior forward Meghan McCallion has been named Conference USA Women's Soccer Offensive Player-of-the-Week according to a release from the league office Monday afternoon.
The Long Island, N.Y. native led the Pirates (3-5) to a pair of wins this week, while also setting two school records in the process. For the week she tallied three goals, including one game-winner and two assists against Campbell and Francis Marion.
Her 34th career goal and first of the FMU match set a new school record for career goals previously held by former Pirate great Amanda Duffy. With her second goal of the day, McCallion again passed Duffy on the charts as ECU's all-time leading scorer notching her 85th career point.
For McCallion, a 2005 all Conference USA candidate, it is the second time she has earned player-of-the-week honors with the first coming during her sophomore season. On the year, McCallion leads the Pirates in goals (5), points (13), shots (24) and is tied for the team lead in assists (3).
The Lady Pirates continue their four-game homestand Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 21 when they host Furman at 4 p.m. at Bunting Field.
