MAC Defensive Player of the Week
Lauren Parker, Miami University
Goalkeeper, Freshman, Loveland, Ohio (Loveland)
Making her first collegiate starts due to an injury to senior Patricia Koutoulas, Lauren Parker proved her mettle with a pair of strong performances in Miami's net. In her first career start at Western Michigan on Thursday, Parker almost single handedly kept the RedHawks within striking distance with a busy afternoon where she set Miami's school record with 18 saves. That total was three more than the previous school record and five more than the next best performance by a MAC keeper this season.
