Athlete of the week – Gracie Brubaker

On Saturday Sept. 18, the Elizabethtown College women’s soccer team had their annual Senior Night game where they honored the seniors on the team. This year the team celebrated seven seniors including midfielder/defender Gracie Brubaker. Brubaker is most excited for Landmark Conference games where the team is anticipating the University of Scranton to be their toughest opponent this year.
“The team is getting more confident each game that we play. We are working to continue to connect on the field and score goals,” Brubaker said. “I am very thankful for each one of my team members as we continue to show up to practices to work hard and improve.”
The team’s senior night game was a successful one resulting in a 3-0 win against Penn State Berks.
