South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Announces AstroTurf Field Hockey Players of the Week

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – South Atlantic Conference Carolinas announced the AstroTurf Field Hockey Players of the Week for week nine of the 2019 season.  Newberry's Brady Keeler was named the Offensive Player of the Week, while Limestone's Daisy Ruhle was named Defensive Player of the Week.

Keeler, a senior Bridgeville, Del., led the Wolves to a 2-0 record last week and became Newberry's all-time leading scorer in the process. She scored two goals and had an assist in Newberry's 3-2 win over Queens and added another goal in the Wolves' 2-0 win over Belmont Abbey. Keeler notched her record setting goal in the game against Queens and now has scored more than 30 goals in her career. This is Keeler's second offensive player of the week award of the season.

Ruhle, a freshman from Marlow, England, led the Saints to a 2-0 record last week with wins over Coker and Pace. She allowed just two goals over the two game span, making 10 saves with a .833 save percentage. Limestone's 4-0 win against Coker gave Ruhle her fifth shutouts for the year, placing her in a tie for the league lead in shutouts. This is Ruhle's third defensive player of the week honor of the year.
