WASHINGTON –  Sophomore midfielder Zach Riviere was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon after the Hoyas went 2-0 last week.  This marks the second player of the week honor for the Hoyas this season and the first of Riviere's career.
 
Riviere helped the Hoyas to a 2-0 week as he led the league offensively with 3.00 points per game. He started the week off with a hat trick at UCLA, leading Georgetown to a 5-1 victory on the West Coast. Georgetown finished the week with a 4-1 victory over UConn as it outscored its opponents 9-2 for the week.
 
Georgetown is now 5-0 on the season and sitting at No. 5 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll marking the first time the Hoyas have been in the top five since 2016.
