Women's Team of the Week: February 23
The nature of the spring season has led to a handful of schedule oddities.
In the Summit League, teams are playing two games against one another over the weekend, and it was the performance of Denver that yields the latest Women’s Player of the Week.
Forward Natalie Beckman led the Pioneers to a pair of wins against Oral Roberts, as she scored twice and setup three more goals in wins of 3-0 and 4-1. The junior has matched her season-high of goals in just five games, as she sits on four goals and four assists at this point in the spring season.
Player of the Week: Natalie Beckman, Denver
