NORFOLK, Va. – Emily Roberts (Severn, Md.) of the Old Dominion women’s soccer team was named the Conference USA Defender of the Week, as announced by league officials on Monday afternoon.
Roberts has now anchored Old Dominion’s defense to 412 consecutive shutout minutes, as the Monarchs have not lost a match since Sept. 28. Roberts and ODU have pitched four straight shutouts while climbing the league ladder. On the road against the top team in the conference FAU (5-0-0), Roberts’ defense didn’t allow a single goal for 110 minutes against the Owls. Against fourth place UAB, Roberts’ backline only surrendered a total of three shots in 90 minutes of action.
