Goldey-Beacom was granted three spots on the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Weekly Honor Roll with freshman Markus Poulsen (Birkerod, Denmark) selected for men's soccer, and senior Francesca Beg (Westbury, England) and freshman Alma Garcia Valle (Valladolid, Spain) tabbed for women's tennis.
 
Poulsen scored two goals over three games, leading to a pair of victories.  His most important goal came with 31 seconds left in the first half of Saturday's 2-1 win over Caldwell.  Poulsen also scored Thursday in Goldey-Beacom's 3-1 triumph over Shippensburg.
 
The win on Saturday enabled GBC (9-4-1, 6-2-1 CACC) to clinch a spot in the CACC Tournament for the second straight year.  The Lightning remained in second place in the league and have won three of their last four contests.
 
Beg won her lone singles match, 6-2, 6-1 at second singles vs. Holy Family to help Goldey-Beacom clinch its first undefeated CACC regular season in school history.  She also teamed with senior Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) for an 8-6 win at first doubles.
 
Beg is 7-0 in doubles this year, all with Sengl, and is 6-1 at singles with a 3-0 mark at second singles.
 
Garcia Valle posted a 6-1, 6-4 at third singles vs. Holy Family.  She also teamed with freshman Silvia Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain) for an 8-0 victory at third doubles.
 
Garcia Valle is 7-0 at singles with a 4-0 mark at fourth singles.  She also is 6-0 at third doubles with Hortelano Pey.
 
GBC is in the semifinals on Saturday at 10:00 am and will face the winner of Tuesday's first-round match between fourth-seeded University of the Sciences and No. 5 seed Philadelphia U.  The winner of that semifinal takes on the winner of the second semifinal between No. 2 seed Wilmington (DE) and third-seeded Post in the final Sunday at 1:00 pm.
 
The semifinals and final take place on the campus of Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia.  The conference champion earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, which begins in late April.
 
The Lightning's ninth straight trip to the conference tournament is one that has the squad as the top seed for the first time in school history.  The squad's 7-0 conference record is its best in team history and its 7-0 overall mark entering the week is the best since opening a team-record 8-0 in 2010-11.
