PROVIDENCE – Syracuse University senior field hockey midfielder Liz McInerney claimed the first BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week award and junior back Amy Kee earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll, the league announced. The pair helped propel the Orange to a 4-0 season-opening victory versus Monmouth on Saturday at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

McInerney led the Syracuse defense that limited Monmouth to only three shots (one on goal) and three penalty corners. She also provided an assist on SU's third goal of the day. Kee was Syracuse's main offensive threat in its victory versus Monmouth. Kee scored one goal and recorded a team-high 10 shots, including a team-best tying four shots on goal. She was also instrumental in helping SU preserve the shutout.
