North Carolina senior Kristen McCann has earned her third ACC Player of the Week honor of the season after scoring seven goals last week against three opponents ranked in the top ten. McCann scored the game-winner in two of the Tar Heels' three victories last week.
A native of Macungie, Pa., McCann started out the week with a hat trick against ACC foe Wake Forest on Tuesday, Oct. 10. McCann scored her first two goals during regulation and then scored the game-winner in overtime to lead the No. 3 Tar Heels to a 4-3 win over the fourth-ranked Demon Deacons. Against No. 5 Michigan on Friday, Oct. 13., McCann scored two goals in a 4-0 shutout. In a conference match at No. 10 Virginia on Sunday, Oct. 15, McCann tallied two more goals-including the game-winner-as the Tar Heels shut out the Cavaliers, 3-0.
McCann is North Carolina's leading scorer this season with 22 goals, eight more than her total in all of last season. She ranks seventh on UNC's career goal list with 54 and seventh in career points with 120.
