Three Wildcats Earn BIG EAST Weekly Honors

NEW YORK – For the third time this season, three Villanova Women's Soccer players landed on the BIG EAST Weekly Honors list. Hannah Dickinson was tabbed Goalkeeper of the Week while Dez Zapata and Meredith Palmer were Weekly Honor Roll picks, as announced by the league office on Monday.
 
The trio of honors brings Villanova to 17 weekly honors from the conference this season.
 
Dickinson earned her second Goalkeeper of the Week nod of the season after going 2-0 in net this past week, marking her fourth weekly honor in 2026. She logged her ninth and 10th shutouts of the year with eight saves needed across the week, including a season-high six against Marquette. With her shutout over DePaul, the Seattle, Wash. native moved into standalone third in program history for career saves, now sitting with 24 after the two clean sheets.
 
Zapata's latest honor roll mention brings her to two weekly mentions this season after she extended her scoring run as of late. She racked up a three-point showing in the 3-0 win over DePaul with an assist and a goal two minutes later. On the whole across the week, she landed two of her five shot attempts on frame. The Smyrna, Del. native now leads the team with 19 points on six goals and seven assists.
 
Palmer has been an honor roll pick three times now this season, bringing her to six weekly nods in her junior campaign. The Waxhaw, N.C. native logged her 14th and 15th full-90 minute games this week as the Wildcats notched their 12th shutout of the season. She was a part of a Wildcat defense that held opponents to eight shots on frame with no goals allowed.
