Trio earns Atlantic 10 honors

Three GW athletes – women’s volleyball freshman Candace Silva-Martin, women’s soccer sophomore Lindsey Rowe and men’s soccer freshman Seth Rudolph – were recognized by the Atlantic 10 Monday for their outstanding play last week.

Silva-Martin, a freshman libero, was named the A-10 Co-Defensive Player and Co-Rookie of the Week, giving her five weekly A-10 honors in her first season. In three matches last week, Silva-Martin totaled 57 digs, four assists and three service aces.

Rowe, the Colonials’ goalkeeper, was named the A-10 Co-Player of the Week after she did not allow a single goal in GW’s two home games this past weekend, earning her ninth and 10th career shutouts. The Richmond, Va. native made 10 saves in the two games and now leads the A-10 with 76 on the season.

Rudolph scored two goals in GW’s 2-0 win over Xavier Friday to earn A-10 Co-Rookie of the Week honors. Both of Rudolph’s scores came in the game’s opening 15 minutes and were his third and fourth of the season.
