Emma Yakim Named Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Week
TOWSON, Md. - Freshman Emma Yakim (Bel Air, Md./Bel Air) of the Goucher College women's soccer team was named the Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon as she helped the Gophers to a 3-0 week with three goals and an assist.
Yakim totaled a hat trick with three goals in Saturday's 9-0 victory at Notre Dame (Md.). She scored the game's first goal just 5:46 into the contest, then added her second goal 11 seconds after halftime. Her third goal came in the 66th minute to make it 7-0.
