Defensive

Others Nominated: Kenzi Balcerak, Eastern Illinois; Matea Diekema, SIUE; Maggi Duggan, Southern Indiana; Emily Carleyato, Tennessee Tech
Goalkeeper
Maya Etienne, 5-7, GK, Sr., Midland, Mich. - Southern Indiana
In Friday’s match at Chicago State, Etienne made five saves on eight shots faced. The 2-0 shutout win was her fourth shutout of the season, increasing her USI career record to 33. In Sunday’s match at Purdue Fort Wayne, Etienne made six saves against seven shots on goal. She allowed only one goal on a ball that deflected in after Etienne made the initial block and save in heavy rain conditions. The six saves in the match at Purdue Fort Wayne matched a season-high for Etienne. Etienne has also played every minute in goal this season for USI.
Others Nominated: Daniela Bermeo, Eastern Illinois; Peyton Urban, Little Rock; Sophia Elfrink, Southeast Missouri; Maggie Conrad, Tennessee Tech; Poppy Bastock, UT Martin
