Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO Oct. 15, 2007

Women's soccer midfielder Siobhan Gillan has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO, AU Athletics officials announced Monday.

Gillan helped her Eagles squad to a perfect 2-0 record this weekend as they remained unbeaten in the Patriot League. AU scored wins over Lehigh on Friday and Lafayette on Sunday. In Friday night's 2-1 win it was Gillan's two-goal performance that propelled the Eagles to the victory. The senior scored her first goal in the ninth minute when she headed a centering pass off the foot of Kelly McLaughlin into the goal. Gillan's second marker came just six minutes later when again, McLaughlin found her for a header which Gillan put into the back of the net. Gillan also helped to guide the Eagles to a 5-0 victory over Lafayette on Sunday.

The women's soccer team will return to action Saturday, Oct. 21, as it returns home from a three-game road swing to welcome Navy into Reeves Field for a 1 p.m. showdown.
