Full Centennial Conference Release

HAVERFORD, Pa. – Haverford senior goalkeeper Rachel Romens has been named the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced in a release on Monday afternoon. Romens notched a career-high 11 saves and also caused a turnover and scooped a ground ball in Haverford's convincing 20-11 win over host McDaniel on Saturday.

Romens ran her 2018 individual record to 5-0 with the victory. The Fords improved to 6-1 on the season with the road triumph, pulling to the best seven-game start for the program since the 2010 squad started 7-0.  The 2010 team finished 13-5 and earned a berth in the Centennial Conference semifinals.

The award is the first weekly honor for the product of Verona, Wis. Romens has tallied 122 career saves, a mark that is good for 17th in Haverford program history. Her 4.36 saves per game is the sixth-best mark in program history.

Romens and the Fords return to action on Wednesday, March 28 with a 5 p.m. contest against visiting Eastern in the final non-conference game of the season. The Fords have won seven straight contests against Eastern dating back to the 2010 campaign.
