PHILADELPHIA- Women's soccer rookie goalkeeper Kara Williams has been voted the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week, for the week ending September 23.  This is the first honor of the season for the Stratford, Conn. native and the second for the women's soccer team.

Williams did not allow a goal in 155 minutes of action as Temple defeated St. Peter's (2-0) on Sept. 21 and tied Monmouth (0-0) on Sept. 23.  She registered seven saves versus Monmouth, including a pair of stops in overtime.

She has lowered her goals against average to 1.09 on the year and an 80.5% save percentage.

Temple begins Atlantic 10 play this weekend, hosting Dayton on Friday at 2 p.m. and traveling to Rhode Island on Sunday.
