Charlie Wagner, Rhodes College, Field Hockey (Defensive)

CHARLIE WAGNER OF RHODES COLLEGE, a junior defensive midfielder from Madison, N.J., has been selected as the SCAC Field Hockey Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played Monday, September 21 through Sunday, September 27.

Wagner played 130 minutes of great hockey on both ends of the field this weekend. Wagner works hard to cover the field end to end and uses her great vision and distribution skills to clear the ball and drive the team up field.

Wagner’s strong anticipation skills continue to fluster opponents as does her good reach and ability to stay in the play. Wagner has stepped up to serve a primary role on corner defense as well this season. In addition to her strong defensive play Wagner added a goal and an assist in Sunday’s win over Transylvania.

With Wagner at the helm the Lynx limited opponents to 1 goal in 140 minutes of play this weekend.
