MILWAUKEE - The accolades continue to roll in for the Marquette women's soccer team this week. Sophomore forward Ashley Bares picked up two more honors Tuesday as she was named to Soccer America Women's Team of the Week and the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week.

Bares tallied both of Marquette's game-winning goals last weekend as the Golden Eagles defeated St. John's, 2-1 in double overtime and shutout Syracuse, 1-0. She first scored MU's golden goal in the 103rd minute in MU's win over the Red Storm, and followed that up with the lone goal in a 1-0 defeat at Syracuse. Bares has registered three goals this season - all three strikes have been credited as game winners. She is currently second on the team with seven points (3g, 1a).

This is Bares' first national weekly honor of her career by either publication, and the second time this season a Golden Eagle has been named to a national team of the week. Shannon Cusick earned Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week honors on Sept. 3.

The Golden Eagles are home for the remainder of the regular season and will host Louisville on Friday, Oct. 17 at Valley Fields. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.
