Butler freshman Norah Jacomen has been named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week for the second-consecutive week after her performance against Ball State. Junior Alexei Whittaker and redshirt-freshman Addie Marshall also were recognized as part of the Weekly Honor Roll.
Jacomen notched a brace in the win over the Cardinals. Her two goals in the match included the game-winner in just the fifth minute, along with an insurance strike in the 61st minute. The freshman has been a sensation so far this year, as her two goals added to her seven total on the season, tied for the most in the BIG EAST. She has now netted four goals over her last three games, and leads the Bulldogs in goals, points, shots, and shots on goal. Her offense has helped drive Butler to back-to-back victories as they now stand at 4-4-1 heading into conference play.
Whittaker also recorded a brace in the 4-0 win over Ball State, scoring on both of her shots. The junior posted her first career two-goal game.
Marshall posted a solo clean sheet in her first career collegiate appearance, tallying three saves in Bulldogs' victory.
Butler returns to action Thursday, traveling to No. 21 Xavier for its opening BIG EAST contest of the season.
