Mimi Asom is the Ivy League Player of the Week for the third time this season and fifth time in her Princeton career, and she is also the SuburbanTransit/GoPrincetonTigers.com overall Athlete of the Week.
This time, Asom earned the honor for scoring the game's only goal, which came in the 31st minute of Princeton's 1-0 win over Penn Saturday night on Sherrerd Field. Princeton needed to win to gain a share of the Ivy League title and secure the league's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.
Princeton will find out its NCAA opponent and destination today at 4:30 p.m. ET on NCAA.com.
The goal also moved Asom to third place on Princeton's all-time career points list, now with 95. She was already third on the goals list, now with 43.
Asom also earned the honor this season on Sept. 24, after a hat trick against Yale, and on Aug. 27 for helping Princeton to an opening-weekend sweep of New Hampshire and Boston University with goals in each game.
