FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield University Women's Soccer senior Maddy Theriault was named Top Drawer Soccer's Player of the Week honoring the player with the top performance in the country over the last week. Theriault, who also earned MAAC Player of the Week honors, tallied 10 points on the week with four goals and two assists highlighted by her first career hat trick against Vermont. For the season, Theriault has been involved in all seven Fairfield scores with five goals and two assists.

"It's really a great honor for Maddy to be recognized at the national level like this," Head Coach David Barrett said. "She's one of the better strikers in the country for sure, and I hope she continues to get better and embrace the moment as the fall moves along."
 
Theriault highlighted her week with her first career hat trick while tying a Lessing Field record with seven points in the win over Vermont. She also scored the game-winning goal and dished out an assist in Fairfield's win over reigning Patriot League Champions Boston University. For the season, the senior ranks in the top-four in the nation in both total goals (five) and points (12).
 
In her career, Theriault's 36 scores is the most by any Stag in 25 years and ties her for second all-time in the program record books. She is also second all-time with 14 game-winners and third with 91 career points.
 
Theriault helped the Stags to two wins in the last week including their 17th-straight home win which remains the longest active home winning streak in Division I.
 
Theriault and the Stags are back in action on Lessing Field on Friday when they host Harvard at 6pm.
