Duquesne University's Katie Schwager (Akron, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) has been named the Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Co-Player of the Week as announced by the league office.

The senior forward recorded her first career hat trick and just the seventh in Duquesne history with three scores in DU's 6-3 win over Robert Morris and was responsible for both game-winning goals this past week. She took four shots vs. the Colonials including a penalty kick shot accounting for one of her goals. Schwager nailed a penalty kick vs. St. Bonaventure as well. She took two shots in DU's 4-1 win and also added an assist over Bonnies. Schwager was instrumental in the Dukes putting a stop on St. Bonaventure which posted shut outs in six of the team's seven wins. SBU entered the match boasting an A-10 best 3.75 goals per game average. For the week, Schwager recorded four goals on six shots as the Dukes went 2-2. She was 2-2 on penalty kicks.

Schwager is second for DU with 17 points, is tied for the team lead with seven goals and tied for second with three assists. She has a team-high three game-winning goal.

Duquesne, which stands 6-4-0 overall, 1-0-0 in the A-10, is riding a four-match winning streak and head to Ohio this weekend to face Xavier and Dayton as they begin a six-match road series.
