WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - After tallying two goals, including the game-winner, in the 5-2 triumph against Old Dominion on Friday evening, sophomore forward Claire Zimmeck has been selected to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week. It marks the second time this season that the Fairfax, Va., native has been named to the team, as she earned the organization’s national Co-Player of the Week honor on Oct. 16.

Zimmeck has performed extremely well recently, recording 11 goals in the past 10 matches. She ranks first in the conference in goals (14), game-winners (six) and points (31).

With the triumph against Old Dominion, W&M wrapped up its regular season with a 16-1-2 record overall, the best regular-season mark in the program’s history. Additionally, the Green and Gold finished conference play with a 10-0-1 record, marking the fourth time the College has gone undefeated in CAA play. Unbeaten in its last 15 contests, the Tribe moved up to 11th in the Soccer Buzz national poll on Monday.

As the conference’s regular-season champion, W&M advances directly to the CAA Tournament semifinals and will square off against the Old Dominion/Northeastern winner at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
