BUFFALO — Canisius freshman Gretta Dry was named the MAAC Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after she helped lead the Golden Griffins to a pair of conference home wins last weekend. Dry is the second Canisius player to be honored by the conference office this season. The first being men’s soccer senior Thomas Teupen who was named Defensive Player of the Week earlier in the year.
The 5-foot-6, forward broke a scoreless tie in the 54th minute as the Golden Griffins defeated Niagara 4-0 in a Battle of the Bridge contest Sept. 28. Next game, at home versus Manhattan, Dry’s penalty kick in the 57th minute was the difference as the Griffs won 1-0. Last week, Dry had two goals and one assist in the Griffs’ two MAAC wins. Dry’s week helped Canisius move to 3-1 in the MAAC for the first time since 2011 and only the third time in program history.
Canisius is on the road this weekend as they travel to Quinnipiac on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
