CHICAGO --- For the second time this season, Indiana University Northwest has swept Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Week honors courtesy of the performances of Xiomara Santana (Hammond, Ind.) and Isabel Escalera (Waukegan, Ill.), the league office announced on Tuesday.
Santana claimed her second CCAC Offensive Player of the Week recognition after registering a hat trick on Saturday. The sophomore midfielder's three goals came in a 9-0 victory over Mount Mary University.
Escalera, meanwhile, totaled 16 saves on the week to garner the defensive honors. The senior stopped an impressive 13 shots in a 1-1 tie with University of St. Francis last Tuesday before pitching the shutout in the Mount Mary match. In the latter contest, she produced three saves for her seventh shutout of the campaign.
The RedHawks' 1-0-1 week put them at 3-2-6 against league foes and 5-3-9 overall.
