Brittney French (Velocity U17-U18, 2005-07 ) was named Bates
College 'Bobcat of the week" for the week of Sept 15th 2008.



Brittney French assumed the starting goalie position on the Bates
women's soccer team this year after the graduation of Nini
Spalding '08. She was put right to work in the Bobcats' season opener
on Saturday, a 2-1 loss in which the visiting Ephs launched 40 shots
toward French's goal.

French (Auburn, Maine) stopped 16 shots, the most saves by a Bates
goalie in over five years, helping to keep the game close against the
No. 1 ranked team in New England and the defending NESCAC champions. In
addition to leading the NESCAC in saves per game after one game, French
is sixth in save percentage (.889).
