ATLANTA- Fresh off his first collegiate win, Millsaps' goal keeper Riley McLean has been named the Southern Athletic Association defender of the week for his efforts. 

McLean was a stalwart for the Majors' defense on Saturday as he played a crucial role in the 18-5 win over the Fontbonne Griffins. The freshman made 12 saves against 17 shots for a stellar .706 save percentage. His save percentage and goals against average are tops in the conference through this past weekend and his save percentage is a full six points ahead of the next goalie in conference. 

The keeper also helped hold the Griffins to just 2 for 5 in man-up situations including a successful kill of a two-man advantage for a full minute of play. 

McLean's ability to thwart the Griffins enable the Majors to get out in transition. His efforts enabled the Majors to go 15-16 in clears, getting the ball out of their defensive zone and back on the attack. 

Millsaps travels to Texas and Louisiana this weekend for a pair of non-conference games. Next up is Southwestern (Tx) on Friday night with a 7pm scheduled face-off.
