Jessica Sexton Award NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Player of the Week Week Of 10/11/2010 Sport Women's Soccer School LIU Year Position Hometown High School Sexton registered a pair of shutouts for two Blackbird wins last weekend against league rivals Sacred Heart and Fairleigh Dickinson to receive this week’s adidas/NEC Rookie and Defensive Player of the Week awards. The freshman frustrated a Pioneer offense by notching six saves in the 1-0 victory. She preserved the shutout by stopping a one-on-one shot fired by Pioneer Leigh Dogmantis with 1:22 left in the game. Sexton continued her streak in net during the 1-0 overtime blanking of Fairleigh Dickinson. The keeper never wavered, making five of her six saves on the day in the second half and in overtime. Sexton now has four straight shutouts to increase her total to six for the year. She has allowed just one goal all season and has not allowed a goal in nearly 500 minutes spanning six appearances.
