Bingham Shares ACC Defensive Player of Week Award
October 23, 2018 | Women's Soccer
Tar Heel defender helped UNC clinch ACC regular season championship
GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina sophomore defender Brooke Bingham shares this week's ACC Defensive Player of the Week honor with Florida State's Natalia Kuikka.
Â
Bingham played all 180 minutes in a pair of ACC shutouts for the Tar Heels, one of only two UNC players to play all 90 minutes in both matches this week. She led a stout defensive effort that blanked high-scoring Boston College 1-0 on Thursday and then helped the Tar Heels limit Miami to just two shots in a 2-0 win on Sunday. With the two wins, UNC clinched its first outright ACC regular-season championship since 2010 and its 22nd championship overall (21 outright, one shared).
Â
ACC regular-season play concludes this week with seven league matches on Thursday. Seeds for the 2018 ACC Women's Soccer Championship will be announced following the conclusion of Thursday's games.
