COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State women’s soccer midfielder Lara Dickenmann was named to the SoccerBuzz.com Elite Team of the Week for the week of Oct. 9 following a three-goal weekend against Iowa and then-No. 10 Illinois.
This is Dickenmann’s (Jr., Kriens, Switzerland/DFC Sursee) third SoccerBuzz.com Elite Team of the Week honor. Earlier in the week, Dickenmann garnered Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Dickenmann collected the first two of her six points against the Hawkeyes, scoring one of two goals in the Buckeyes’ 2-0 win. Dickenmann returned to action against the Fighting Illini and scored both OSU goals in the team’s 2-0 victory.
Dickenmann is tied for the team lead in goals with seven and leads Ohio State in points with 17 (three assists). This is the third time this season Dickenmann has scored in consecutive matches. The first time she completed the feat was in the Xavier (Aug. 27) and San Diego (Sept. 1) games, where she scored a goal in each contest. The second came against Indiana (Sept. 24) and Wisconsin (Sept. 29), where she again recorded a goal per game.
The Buckeyes have won every match in which Dickenmann has tallied at least one point, except Indiana. Dickenmann, who has taken a team leading 53 shots on the season, owns a shot on goal percentage of more than 50 percent (.566), as 30 of her shots have been on goal.
