ATLANTA, GA- The Millsaps Majors' senior goaltender Madelyn Walker has been named the Southern Athletic Association's defender of the week for her efforts against Hendrix. 

The senior made 11 saves against 20 shots in the Majors' 17-9 win over the Hendrix Warriors on Saturday at Harper Davis Field. Walker was active in the net, recording three ground balls and causing a turnover in addition to the 11 saves.
