Goalkeeper

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.
