Senior goalkeeper Haley Smith was named the final Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week of the regular season, as announced by the conference office on Monday evening.
This is the fourth time this season Smith has been recognized by the Valley with a weekly honor and the ninth time of her career. Only two other ISU student-athletes have earned four MVC Defensive Player of the Week accolades in a single season; Becky Feldmann (1997-2000) and Abby Van Deventer (2012-2015).
Smith made two saves off eight shots faced to preserve the shutout in Friday afternoon's 1-0 win over Drake.
