Senior defender Christina Bragado has been named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week for the third time in her career, the league office announced on Monday afternoon.
Bragado earned the honor after directing the WKU soccer team to its 1-0 shutout victory over rival Middle Tennessee on Sunday evening.
The San Diego native previously received the weekly award twice during her 2017 sophomore campaign. Bragado’s three career weekly awards tie her for the second-most in program history alongside Amanda Buechel. The pair trails only the four won by former goalkeeper Allison Leone.
In just two weeks of the weekly rankings by the league office, a WKU defender has won the award both times.
