UH’s Berger is national freshman of week
One day after earning Big West defensive player of the week honors, Hawaii women’s soccer goalkeeper Monk Berger was named National Freshman of the Week by CollegeSoccer360.com.
Berger was instrumental in UH’s road sweep at Oregon and Oregon State, posting a pair of shutouts against Pac-12 foes. The native of Garden Grove, Calif., stopped all 11 shots she faced during the two games.
In the second start of her college career she made seven saves at Oregon, including two of them in 1-on-1 situations. Berger followed that up with four saves at Oregon State, including two from point-blank range, as UH played the final 14 minutes with just 10 players.
