10:50 a.m., Sept. 9, 2003--Jessi Balmer, a junior forward for the University of Delaware field hockey team, has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Co-Player of the Week.
Balmer shares the honor with Jennifer Howard, a Virginia Commonwealth University senior midfielder.
Balmer recorded her first career hat track in UD’s 4-3 win over Villanova on Sunday. It was the first hat trick by a Delaware player since 2001. Balmer also scored a goal in Delaware’s 4-1 win over Penn on Saturday.
This is the second week in a row a UD player has been honored by the conference. All-American candidate Erica LaBar was named the CAA Player of the Week on Sept. 2.
