The Robert Morris player was selected because of her performances since the beginning of the month.

Behind her offensive showing, the 20th-ranked Eagles improved to 9-2-1.
The 18-year-old is listed among the nation's top 10 in four statistical categories:
fourth in total goals (15), fifth in points per game (3.0) and seventh in goals per game (1.25) and total points (36).
