PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Senior Jen Kasel (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, announced today by the conference office. Kasel led the Orange to a 2-0 week with wins against Massachusetts and No. 18 Towson. For the week, she stopped 18 shots, allowed a mere nine goals, had a 4.90 goals against average, and a .667 save percentage.

Against the Minutewomen on March 15, Kasel saved three shots in SU’s 15-9 win. On March 19 against Towson, she stopped a season-high 15 shots in limiting the Tigers to five goals. Towson came into the game averaging 11.53 goals per game. The five goals allowed was part of a 7-5 win that ranks as the second-lowest scoring game in Syracuse history.

Kasel’s 15 saves was the most she has been credited with since she stopped 15 shots against Loyola in the 2004 season finale on May 8.

The Orange, currently 5-2, takes on BIG EAST foe Connecticut on Sunday, March 26 at 3:00 p.m. at the Carrier Dome.
