Top Individual Performances (Week 9 WLAX)
Each week, we will look back at the games that were to see which players had the largest individual performances. I say largest because the contributions that we can measure (from play by play) tend to be things that are easy to count. This includes, goals, shots, assists, turnovers, penalties, etc. We can’t measure a defender who shuts down an opposing player so completely that she doesn’t even touch the ball. Still, it is interesting to be able to identify the players that really filled it up each weekend and give them a shout out here. | |
For a bit of background, in order to rank single game performances, we needed a way to condense box score stats to a single number for each player. In order to do this, we relied on our expected goal values methodology, which assigns a goal value to each type of play depending on how often it leads to a goal in the next 60 seconds. By adding up all the expected goals added for each player, we can get to that single number and these rankings. | |
We have also tagged each performance with the opponent’s ELO rating. The higher the number, the stronger the opponent. This should help to give some context for each performance. Did the player feast on the dregs of D1 or did they put up these numbers against a quality opponent? | |

Top Single Game Scores of the week |

#1 – Ashley Britton (High Point) – 11.08 goals added
Apr 7 vs Campbell Opp ELO: 1219
This was the best game Britton has had all year and it was the best day that the Panthers’ offense has had all year. Their 41.8% efficiency mark was the highest of the season.
For Britton, the 10-point outing found the right mix of opportunity and accuracy. The 16 shots represented a season high and while she’s had better days, as measured by shooting percentage, none of them came with such high volume. Career Stat

#2 – Charlotte North (Boston College) – 10.63 goals added
Apr 10 vs Virginia Tech Opp ELO: 1565
10 goals on 13 shots. There is a lot of excitement to Charlotte North’s game, but the efficiency is remarkable as well. Exhibit A: she is shooting 65.3% this year. She’s averaging fewer shots than she did last year, and yet her goals/gm average is up nearly a goal and a half.
The 10.63 EGA mark in this one narrowly bested the 10.2 EGA mark she set for herself against UVA back in March. And let’s not forget, VT has the 25th best defense in the country; so this was no case of running up the score against some pushover. Career Stat

#4 – Abby Hormes (High Point) – 9.51 goals added
Apr 7 vs Campbell Opp ELO: 1219
Score 23 goals, and what do you get? 2 players on the top EGA list is what you get. This is the first time we’ve seen Abby Hormes grace these pages, but a 9.51 EGA day will do that.
Her 57.1% shooting mark against Campbell was actually one of her least accurate outings recently. In her past 4 games she has shooting percentages of: 75%, 71%, 57% and 70%. Career Stat

#5 – Paige Volkmann (Binghamton) – 9.42 goals added
Apr 10 vs Hartford Opp ELO: 635
Volkmann’s 2021 season has been marked by fairly consistent improvement in just about every area. She is shooting 5 percentage points better than last year (42.5% vs 37.5%) on a few more shots per game (8 vs 6). She’s got a few extra assists and her turnover rate is down from .47 to .39.
Even her excess shooting mark, which accounts for the probability that an average shooter would eclipse her actual goal total on the same shots, is up from last year. Career Stat

#6 – Izzy Scane (Northwestern) – 8.87 goals added
Apr 8 vs Ohio State Opp ELO: 1506
Another week, another listing for Izzy Scane on the top EGA leaderboard. Her goal totals are getting a lot of attention, but in this game, she also had a season-high 3 assists.
So far, her 2 highest EGA games this year both came against Ohio State. In the first game of the year, she had a 9.29 mark against the Bucks. Career Stat

#7 – Blair Pearre (Towson) – 8.48 goals added
Apr 10 vs William and Mary Opp ELO: 1362
7 shots, 7 shots-on-goal, 7 goals. How do you like that?
Interestingly though, shooting percentage has not been where Pearre has had her biggest strides from last season. Last year, she shot 53.8%; this year…53.3%. Turnovers, though, is where you see the real impact. She has halved her turnover rate since last year (.50 down to .25 this year). Career Stat

Against Winthrop, she was even more efficient than in her game against Campbell. In her last 4 games, she’s got 23 goals on 35 shots. Career Stat

#9 – Katie Whelan (Hofstra) – 7.78 goals added
Apr 10 vs James Madison Opp ELO: 1968
Alyssa Parrella has gotten most of the headlines for Hofstra this year, but on this day, it was Whelan’s turn in the spotlight. She set season-highs for shots (9), goals (6), points (8). And she did it all without coughing the ball up once.
