Limestone’s Alderin-Fleagle Named Women’s Soccer Player of the Week

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Tuesday, October 25, 2011

 

High Point, N.C.> Limestone College’s Ashley Alderin-Fleagle has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas women’s soccer Player of the Week during week number eight in the 2011 season. Following a five-goal outburst this past week, Limestone College senior midfielder Ashley Alderin-Fleagle (Kernersville, N.C.) took over the NCAA Division II lead with 17 total goals scored. She is the first player in Limestone women’s soccer history to lead the nation in scoring. After being held scoreless in the first three matches of her senior season, the Kernersville, NC native has recorded a goal in 10 of the last 12 games and has notched a hat trick on three separate occasions this year. More importantly, she has played a key role in the program’s first 10-win season since 2002 as the Saints are 9-1 in games in which she has posted a goal.  Alderin-Fleagle put the Saints up 1-0 with a first half header against Mars Hill before adding an insurance score in the second half to lead LC to a 3-1 win. Against St. Andrews this past weekend, she scored twice in the first half before capping her third hat trick of the season with a header to surge Limestone to a 5-0 win, which ties the program record for most overall and conference wins in a season. The Saints currently are 7-3 in league play and 10-5 overall.
