Grossi Named Suburban Transit/GPT & Ivy League Player of the Week
September 04, 2017 | Women's Soccer
For the second straight week to start the season, a Princeton player has claimed the Ivy League Player of the Week honor for women's soccer and Suburban Transit/GoPrincetonTigers.com Athlete of the Week recognition.
Last week, it was sophomore Abby Givens after a three-goal weekend. This week, it's classmate Natalie Grossi, who made six saves in a 2-0 shutout win at No. 20 North Carolina State Saturday afternoon. It was the first time since 2012 that Princeton defeated a team ranked in the top 20.
The weekly honors are the first for Grossi, who is in her second year as Princeton's starting keeper. Grossi has seven career shutouts, starting this season with three in a row after four a year ago.
Princeton will continue this week with the first two of five straight home games, Thursday at 7 p.m. against Rider and Sunday at 11 a.m. against New Hampshire.
