TicketsCINCINNATI -- Cincinnati freshman attacker Camryn Callaghan earned her fifth AAC Freshman of the Week award, while senior Dani Mlkvy earned a spot on the league's honor roll following their performances in Saturday's 17-7 win over Old Dominion.
Callaghan, No. 5 on the roster, continued her affinity for the number with five goals for her 55th of the season, keeping up her season-long hold as the national leader among freshmen. She needed only six shots and added her sixth assist of the past three games to boot. It was her 12th hat trick, and she is within six goals of second and eight of first in single-season school history. Her 3.24 goals per game are second in the AAC.
Mlkvy secured 10 draw controls to set the tone against ODU, her fourth game with 10 or more this season. She also padded her single-season school record to 110 in the process, maintaining the AAC lead while moving to No. 18 nationally. The defense held the Monarchs to 15 shots, with seven coming in the fourth quarter when UC had already built a 14-3 lead. The Bearcats also boasted an 18-8 ground ball margin.
Cincinnati's 11-6 record marks its highest regular-season winning percentage in school history, including a four-game improvement from last year's 7-10 campaign.
The Bearcats' AAC Tournament hopes depend on a combination of outcomes, and potentially goal differentials, in this weekend's Temple-Vanderbilt and East Carolina-James Madison matchups.
