BUIES CREEK, N.C. – After registering 10 points and 17 draw controls over two games, Campbell's
Julianna Sanchez has been named Big South Offensive Player of the Week.
Sanchez tallied eight goals and two assists against Elon and Old Dominion. The redshirt junior notched a career-high seven points in Saturday's 13-12 win at ODU, matching a career-best with five goals to go along with two assists. Sanchez' fifth goal of the day gave Campbell a 13-10 lead with 6:56 to play, helping the Camels hold on for the road victory.
An Annapolis, Md. native, Sanchez also posted a hat trick with three goals in Wednesday's 22-20 shootout at Elon, adding a season-high 13 draw controls. Against the Phoenix, Sanchez helped CU hit the 20-goal mark for the first time this season, as the teams combined for 42 goals, the most in Campbell single-game history, breaking the previous mark of 41, set in 2015 (L 21-20 vs. Long Island).
For the season, Sanchez has totaled 15 points on 13 goals and two assists with a Big South-best 7.25 draw controls per game.
This is the
third time this season a Camel has earned Big South weekly honors, following
Emma Strickland (defensive, Feb. 15) and
Kaitlyn Gallagher (freshman, Feb. 15).
After playing the first five games of their 2022 season on the road, the Camels will make their long-awaited home debut on March 19, hosting William & Mary.
