GREENVILLE, S.C. - Another explosive week has put Marie Kendall (Dakar, Senegal/Dakar Academy) on the national radar. The University of Northwestern midfielder scored 16 points in a pair of conference blowouts to earn National Christian College Athletic Association Women's Soccer Student-Athlete of the Week recognition for the first time this season, and the second time in her career.

Kendall began the week with a bang, scoring a hat trick in a 7-0 home win over North Central, while also assisting on another goal. In Saturday's 9-0 road win at Bethany Lutheran, the sophomore one-upped herself with a career-high four goals and another assist. Her 16 points on 31 shots and 17 shots on goal occurred in just 135 of a possible 180 minutes, and she now leads NCCAA DI in goals (20), points (46), shots (138), and shots on goal (71), and is seventh in assists (6).

Kendall and the Eagles will be back in action Saturday, October 24th at 7:30 PM for their Senior Night game against Martin Luther.
