SEWANEE, Ga. – Senior GK Elizabeth Sooby of Millsaps College, after grabbing 12 saves in two road wins this past weekend, has been named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Week for games played Monday, Sept. 22 to Sunday, Sept. 28. 

The weekly award from the SCAC is the second of her Millsaps career in as many seasons, being named the Defensive POTW in Week 9 last season.

Sooby improved to 12-2-1 in her last 15 starts between the posts with weekend wins over Austin and the University of Dallas. Against the 'Roos, Sooby stopped a season-high eight shots and earned her 11th career clean slate.

The senior is surrendering just 0.76 goals-per-game in 2008, second in the league behind Ruth Hanks of BSC.

The team now returns back to Harper Davis Field on Oct. 3 to host conference foe DePauw University with kickoff slated for 8 p.m. The weekend concludes with a Sunday match against Centre at 2 p.m.
