Lacasse named forward of the week

Iowa soccer’s Cloe Lacasse was named Forward of the Week by TopDrawerSoccer.com following a strong weekend on the field. Lacasse was one of five athletes in the nation to earn the distinction.

The sophomore racked up 2 goals and 2 assists in two Iowa victories: a 4-0 win over Loyola-Chicago and a 3-0 shutout against Northern Iowa. Lacasse tallied a goal and assist in each game.

The native of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, leads the team’s offense with 13 points. Lacasse has scored 5 goals and 3 assists in the Hawkeyes’ first four games on the season. The forward also leads the Big Ten in total shots (20), shots per game (5), points (13), points per game (3.25), goals per game (1.25), and assists.

Lacasse led the Hawkeyes in goals, points, and shots after starting all 20 of Iowa’s games in 2011.

The Hawkeyes, who haven’t allowed a goal yet this season, will attempt to continue their unbeaten season against Iowa State on Friday.
