Schneider, Hays sweep A-R-C weekly honors

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Combining for six of Simpson's 15 goals last week, Savannah Schneider and Maddie Hays have been named the American Rivers Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively.

Schneider notched back-to-back games with two goals, while Hays scored once in each victory while playing 144 minutes of shutout defense. Simpson defeated Luther 6-0 and Buena Vista 9-0 to maintain its undefeated record.

A freshman from Hudson, Iowa, Schneider now has five goals on the year, all coming in her last three outings. Hays has also contributed five goals this season, going a perfect 4-for-4 in penalty kicks before scoring a goal off a corner kick this past Saturday against Buena Vista.

The Storm (9-0-3, 3-0 A-R-C) head to Nebraska Wesleyan tomorrow night for a 8:30 kickoff and will host No. 16 Loras on Saturday afternoon at Buxton Stadium. The Prairie Wolves are currently 5-7-2 (0-2-2 A-R-C), while the Duhawks are unbeaten at 12-0-0 (3-0-0 A-R-C).
