John Jay College of Criminal Justice women's soccer player Brenda Pitts has been named the City University of New York Athletic Conference / Applebee’s Women's Soccer Player of the Week, CUNYAC announced on Monday.
Pitts, a team co-captain, earns the award for the first time this season. She scored the games' lone goal in the Bloodhounds 1-0 win over NYU-Polytechnic University on Saturday to snap an eight match losing streak. She took three shots in the contest, helping John Jay to outshoot its opponent 14-8 overall in the contest.
A CUNYAC All-Star and sportsmanship award winner last season, Pitts has netted two goals and recorded one assist this season as the Bloodhounds are in full force in quest of the program's first conference championship. The Bloodhounds will play the City College of New York in the semifinal round of the 2011 CUNYAC / Applebee's women's soccer championship on November 2.
