CHICAGO --- Robert Morris University's Florence Dadson (Cape Coast, Ghana) returned to the weekly honor roll, while Olivet Nazarene University's Devin Johnston (Bloomington, Ill.) helped the Tigers complete a conference season of shutouts in notching her name on the awards list when the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference announced its women's soccer players of the week for the week ending October 28 on Tuesday morning.

After a week off the charts, Dadson, a junior forward, returned to earn her fifth player of the week award in the past seven weeks when she played a role in all five Robert Morris goals in two Eagle victories this past week.

Dadson authored both goals in the Eagles' 2-0 victory over Saint Xavier University on Wednesday and then followed up with a pair of goals in a 3-2 win over Trinity Christian College on Saturday.  She also had a hand in on the Eagles' third goal on Saturday as she earned a penalty kick for her team leading to the decisive goal.

Dadson's 23 goals and 55 total points on the season rank her sixth and seventh, respectively, in the nation, while her 1.64 goals and 3.93 points per game place her fifth in the nation.

Johnston, a senior defender, has been a key part of an Olivet Nazarene defense that did not allow a goal during the conference season.  She helped the Tigers run their shutout streak to 11 games with her play in conference victories over both University of St. Francis and Saint Xavier University this past week.  In the two games combined, ONU's defense allowed only six shots total with just three on goal.

On Saturday, Saint Xavier managed a mere one shot total in its 5-0 loss.  Olivet Nazarene defeated St. Francis, 3-0, on Wednesday.

The Tigers, which gained the No. 1 seed for the upcoming postseason tournament, are 15-2 overall and completed the league's regular season a perfect 11-0.

Robert Morris University, which has received the No. 3 seed in the tournament after going 9-2 in conference play, is 12-6 overall.
