Binghamton University Athletics

Women's soccer player Katie O'Neill has been named Binghamton's Wells Fargo Advisors LLC Athlete of the Week for October 20-26. O'Neill, a sophomore center midfielder, led a strong Bearcat charge in the final week of the regular season, pushing BU into the America East playoffs for the 11th time in the last 13 years. At Vermont, O'Neill was part of all three goals - scoring twice and adding an assist in the Bearcats' 3-2 come-from-behind win. She scored the game-winning goal late in the second overtime on a beautiful volley to the upper netting. The Bearcats then went on to beat UMBC - again in double overtime - to clinch a tournament berth. O'Neill leads the team with five goals and 12 points and this is her second weekly honor. She also was named as the America East Player of the Week.
