SOCCER:Attanasio named player of the week

Early this morning, Gettysburg College freshman Casey Attanasio (pictured, right), a Council Rock North alum from Newtown, was named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week.
Attanasio made the most out of her first collegiate start at Bryn Mawr College on Sept. 20, posting a pair of goals in a lopsided 7-0 conference victory. She posted the match’s first goal at 7:14 and turned in a second tally just past the 10-minute mark.
Attanasio's multi-goal scoring output was the first by a Bullet since Katie Myers scored twice against Franklin & Marshall College on Oct. 17, 2006. The honor bestowed upon Attanasio was the women’s soccer team’s second in as many weeks and followed in the footsteps of fellow first-year teammate Suzy Englot, who was tabbed Co-Defensive Player of the Week the previous week.
Gettysburg is 4-1-0, (1-0-0 CC) and is riding a four-game winning streak, but the Bullets embark on their toughest challenge to date in their next affair Wednesday, Sept. 23 at top-ranked Messiah College (6-0-1).
