CHICAGO (Sept. 26, 2013) -- Former Eclipse Select Soccer Club forward and Texas Christian University freshman standout Michelle Prokof (Gurnee, Ill.) was honored for her goal scoring frenzy last weekend for the Horned Frogs.

Prokof scored all four team goals during a two-game stretch and was named the Big 12 Conference Offensive and Newcomer Player of the Week. They marked the first weekly honors of her young career, and she is the sixth player in Big 12 history to earn both accolades for the same week.

In other Eclipse Select alumni news, Notre Dame junior defender Sammy Scofield (Geneva, Ill.) scored a game-winning goal with only three seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Irish to a 1-0 victory against Syracuse last Thursday in ACC action. Scofield's header was the latest winner in regulation in the program's history.
