AMHERST, N.Y. — The East Coast Conference released its final set of women's soccer weekly awards on Monday, with Daemen forward Marisa Rickard (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) earning Offensive Player of the Week. 

Rickard logged a career-best five points with two goals and an assist to lead Daemen past rival D'Youville in a non-conference game last Wednesday. 

She scored the first two goals in the first half to put her team ahead 2-0. Rickard scored her first in the 11th minute, then found the back of the net again in the 33rd minute. It was her first career multi-goal game. The sophomore also assisted Daemen's fourth goal.

The Wildcats earned the No. 6 seed in the ECC Women's Soccer Championship. Daemen travels to No. 3 seed Queens for a first-round matchup at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
