On the season so far, she's made 73 saves which leads the Big Ten and has an average of 4.87 saves per game which also is the conference leader.
This is the third time this season she's been named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week as she was previously named it on Sept. 8 and Aug. 18. She's now the fourth player in school history to earn a Big Ten weekly award three times in a single season joining Vanessa DiBernardo (2010), Ella Masar (2007) and Alcia (2003).
