It is the first weekly honor from the ACC for McCool in her four-year career.
McCool helped the Cavaliers remain one of only two undefeated teams in the nation last week when she hit the game-winning goal against Notre Dame in a 3-0 victory over the Fighting Irish. It was the 10th goal of the season for McCool who has scored in 10-of-15 matches played this season. The goal was also her fourth game-winning goal of the season, three of which have come in conference play and includes the golden goal at No. 5 Florida State a week earlier.
Virginia will return to action on Thursday, hosting nationally-ranked Louisville in a 7 p.m. match at Klöckner Stadium.
