University of Rochester graduate student Mara Heppard played all 183 minutes across three Rochester wins, as the Yellowjackets pushed its early season record to 4-0 this past week. She played a key defensive role, helping Rochester hold opponents to just 13 shots against (4.33 per game), nine shots on goal against (3.00 per game) and six corners (2.00 per game) over the three games. The Yellowjackets' defense allowed just two goals, one of which was on a penalty stroke. Heppard also contributed on offense, scoring a goal in a 3-0 win over Brockport and dishing out an assist against Kenyon on Sunday, a 5-1 victory.
