Clarke becomes the second different Lion to earn NJAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after propelling TCNJ to the 2007 NJAC Championship with a pair of tournament wins. In the Lions’ semifinal contest against fourth-seeded Montclair State, she collected three saves for a 1-0 shutout victory. In the NJAC Championship Game, she collected two saves while surrendering just one goal in a 3-1 victory over third-seeded Richard Stockton.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

Her goal in the 86th minute of the championship match was one of only four scores allowed by the Lions on the season.
