Anna Markland, GK, 5-10, So., Hoover, Ala. - Southern Indiana
Markland had a strong week between the posts for USI, recording her first career shutout last Thursday in a 2-0 win against Austin Peay. In Thursday’s match, Markland picked up a pair of saves blocking two shots in the second half. On Sunday, Markland made four saves, including a few airborne, punch-away saves. Her biggest save came in the final seconds against Northern Illinois. With less than five seconds left, the Huskies fired a shot from the right side of the box that Markland dove and knocked away as time expired, keeping the match level at 1-1.
Maggie Conrad, GK, 5-7, Jr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Tennessee Tech
Conrad went off in Tech’s two matches with a combined 18 saves against two teams that had four-match unbeaten streaks at the time the Golden Eagles played them. After first tying a career-high eight saves in a narrow 1-0 loss at UAB, the 5-foot-7 junior set a new career best with 10 stops in TTU’s first win of the season against Lipscomb on Sunday.
