Pastorelli, Robinson Earn CCC Weekly Honors

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Wentworth Institute of Technology women's soccer team won both of its games last week to run its win streak to three games and two members of the Leopards – junior Mary Pastorelli (Whitesboro, N.Y.) and freshman Micaela Robinson (Goshen, N.Y.) – have been honored by the Commonwealth Coast Conference as the league's defensive player of the week and rookie of the week, respectively.

Pastorelli anchored a Leopard defense that did not give up a goal in two games and extended its shutout streak to 314:37. Wentworth's back line also surrendered just eight shots on goal in the two games; five in a 1-0 win over Western Connecticut and three in a 3-0 win over Salve Regina. Starting all 11 contests, Pastorelli has been a part of a stingy defense which has allowed just five goals in 11 contests.

Robinson needed to make just eight saves total in a pair of victories as she recorded the first two solo shutouts of her collegiate career. In a 1-0 win over Western Connecticut she turned aside five shots while finishing the week with a three-save performance in a 3-0 win at Salve Regina. Robinson has played in all of the team's 11 games, starting 10, and had a 0.48 goals against average and a 6-2-1 record. In addition to her two solo shutouts, she has been involved in five shared shutouts as the Leopards have blanked their opponents seven times in 11 games.

Standing at 8-2-1, Wentworth hosts UMass Boston in a non-conference game Tuesday night.
