Weekly Accolades
Brooke Clagett continues to dazzle for the UMBC Retrievers, having been recognized as both Offensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week in the America East Conference. Her impact was evident when she struck the decisive goal just 28 seconds into the second half against American University, a strike set up by Cece Price after a defensive misstep. The goal added to a budding career that already includes 73 high‑school goals, and it marks her second collegiate tally, showcasing a knack for finding the net under pressure.
Between the posts, Amara Codd proved why she earned Goalkeeper of the Week, logging every minute of two demanding fixtures. She turned aside two penalty kicks and racked up 11 saves in a win over Mount St. Mary's, highlighted by a spectacular stop on Peyton Gallagher in the second half. Her consistency has become a cornerstone of the team’s defensive resilience.
The Retrievers are set to host Fairmont State on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. ET, a matchup that promises to test both sides as UMBC looks to extend its early‑season momentum. Coach Anika Berger’s squad will aim to translate the recent individual accolades into collective success on home turf.
