Banks And Walleekendeh Repeat As PSUAC Players Of The Week; Earn USCAA Honors

MEDIA, Pa. -- Penn State Brandywine women's soccer freshmen Kiiani Banks (Elizabeth, N.J./Elizabeth) and Jolyn Walleekendeh (Boothwyn, Pa./Chichester) earned their second Penn State University Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards in as many weeks on Tuesday. Banks was also selected as the United States Collegiate Athletic Association Goalkeeper of the Week, while Walleekendeh was named USCAA Offensive Player of the Week.

Banks recorded her second shutout of the season and now owns a scoreless streak of 180 minutes through two games. She stopped a pair of shots Saturday at Penn State Scranton during a 2-0 Brandywine victory, the Lions' lone match of the week.

Banks has made three saves and owns a 2-0 record through two starts this fall.

Walleekendeh scored both goals during the Lions' triumph at Scranton. She found the back of the net during the
11th minute and added a score during the 78th minute.

Walleekendeh owns the PSUAC goal-scoring lead and ranks second among USCAA Division II players with six goals in two matches.

Brandywine (2-0, 1-0 PSUAC) hosts Rosemont in its home opener Wednesday at 5:00 pm.
