Canisius freshman Gretta Dry was named MAAC Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after she recorded two goals and one assist in the Griffs’ two MAAC wins. Dry’s 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.

She also leads the team in goals (5) and is tied for first in assists (4) with junior Maddie Good.
