Lauren Gorodetsky

Emory University senior center back Lauren Gorodetsky paced the eighth-ranked Eagles to a shutout win, while also scoring the game-winning goal and assisting on another during the team’s 3-0 win over 23rd-ranked Carnegie Mellon University on Saturday.  The three points for the defender in the game led all University Athletic Association (UAA) players during the week.  Gorodetsky scored her fourth goal of the season on a header in the 20th minute of play, giving the Eagles’ a 1-0 lead.  She later assisted on Emory’s second goal of the contest, sending a long free kick into the box to setup the goal.  Defensively, the senior played all 90 minutes and anchored a defense that held the Tartans to just six shots, including only one in the second half and just two on goal.  Of her four goals this season, three have been game winners, and her 10 points are the fifth-most by an Eagle this season.  Additionally, the two-time University Athletic Association (UAA) Most Valuable Player has been the leader of an Eagles’ defense that has recorded a 0.49 goals-against average and 10 shutouts, including five-straight clean sheets.  Emory ended the regular season on a seven-game winning streak, finishing with a 14-3-1 record and a 6-1-0 mark in UAA contests.
