The Central Connecticut State senior dominated the air on crosses, faced 29 shots against the New England Mutiny (making 11 saves) and shut out last year's East Conference champions in her first start in the WPSL, giving the Reds the 1-0 win.

Casey shared Player of the Week honors with forward Sabrina Demonte of Ajax America.

Bay State Select striker Jen Leaverton and Mutiny midfielder Erin Clark were also named to the league’s team of the week.

Leaverton has scored two goals in two matches for Bay State in WPSL East action and was named Offensive MVP in the team’s season opening win over the Maine Tide May 15.

Clark, a UConn standout, followed up a hat trick in her team’s May 16 win over Maine with a strong performance in the loss to Connecticut.
