PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Following standout performances to begin the 2019-20 school year, sophomore
Isabel Villar (Pomona, N.Y./Paramus Catholic) of the Pace University women's soccer team and senior
Isaiah Williams (Newburgh, N.Y./Newburgh Free Academy) of the football squad have been selected as IvyRehab's Setters of the Week.
Villar served a vital role in the Setters' 2-0 start to the season this past weekend. The midfielder registered two goals and two assists in triumphs over Georgian Court University and Post University. She notched both of her tallies in the second half against the Lions, helping the Blue and Gold come back from a 2-0 halftime deficit. Villar followed that up with a pair of assists in the first half versus the Eagles on Sunday.
Williams, who was named the NE10's Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, made a huge impact in Pace's season-opener against Millersville University. The defensive back registered his third career interception in the second quarter before forcing a key fumble in the fourth. Williams' knockout caused a touchback after he jarred the ball loose from the Millersville quarterback at the three-yard line.
