McCarthy Earns MIAA Defensive Player of the Week Accolades


Pam McCarthy


ALMA, Mich. - Alma junior goalkeeper Pam McCarthy (Flint/Powers Catholic) was credited with 17 saves in back-to-back shutout victories against Adrian (6-0) and Tri-State (1-0). In a third game, she had nine saves in a 1-0 loss to Kalamazoo. The weekly honor is the second of McCarthy’s career.

She has helped the Scots to a 5-10-1 overall record and a 5-7-1 mark in MIAA action. McCarty is the second Alma College women’s soccer player to earn conference honors as Christina Harig earned offensive player of the week honors earlier this season.

The team travels to Rochester College (Mich.) before hosting Albion College (8-7-2, 8-3-2 MIAA) Saturday, Oct. 30.
