ANNA BROWN NAMED CRC STUDENT-ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Anna Brown (Elk Grove, Calif./Elk Grove) of the Cosumnes River women's soccer team has been selected as the CRC Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Aug. 25-31.

Brown led the Hawks to a 2-1 upset of nationally-ranked College of the Canyons at CRC Soccer Fields in Sacramento, Calif. last Friday.  Brown recorded eight saves, including five in the first half, while allowing only one goal to record her first victory of the 2013 season.  She recorded three big saves in the second half, holding the lead for CRC and leading the Hawks to their first victory of the season.

Brown also recorded four saves in a match last Tuesday against Solano CC in the Hawks home opener, shutting out the Falcons while leading CRC to a 0-0 draw.  The freshman goalkeeper has a .923 save percentage after the season's first week, allowing only one goal in thirteen shots.  She has a 1-0-1 record leading into the second week of the season.

This is Brown's first CRC Student-Athlete of the Week honor, as well as the first for the women's soccer team.  Brown will next compete in Fresno this Wednesday (Sept. 4) at Fresno City College.  She will then lead her team to face 2012 National Champion Cerritos College this Friday (Sept. 6).
