October 27, 2021 | Field Hockey
The University of Louisville's Aimee Plumb has been named the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division I Offensive Player of the Week as announced by the organization today.
Â
Plumb's first national honor comes on the heels of her second straight ACC Offensive Player of the Week nod.
Â
The sophomore forward turned a pair of clutch performances last weekend while leading the Cardinals to road wins at No. 10 North Carolina and No. 25 James Madison. She tallied three goals with two of her scores serving as game-winners in overtime.
Â
On Friday, Plumb notched a pair of goals as the Cardinals overcame an early deficit and went on to beat the Tar Heels when she scored with 10 seconds left in overtime. With the win, Louisville secured a share of the ACC regular season title for the second straight year.
Â
On Sunday, Plumb registered the only goal of the game, breaking a scoreless tie with a penalty corner goal in the fourth minute of overtime.
Â
Plumb has tallied six goals and dished out one assist over the last four games.
Â
The Canterbury, Kent, England native stands second on the team with a career-high seven goals, three assists and 17 points on the season. Â
Â
No. 5 UofL (15-2, 5-0 ACC) will wrap up the 2021 regular season on Friday when the Cardinals play host to No. 9 Syracuse (11-3, 4-1) for a 3 p.m. matchup at 3 p.m.
