SUWANEE, Ga. – After posting a pair of shutouts in a 1-0-1 weekend for Millsaps at home and extending her scoreless streak between the posts to 304 minutes, junior goalkeeper Elizabeth Sooby has been named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Week – the first weekly award of her career in a Majors uniform.

Sooby with two regular season games remaining, set a new single-season school record with her fifth and sixth shutouts of the year, picking up eight total saves over 200 minutes of scoreless soccer between the posts as the Majors tied Rhodes in double-overtime and defeated Hendrix 5-0 on Sunday.

With a 5-8-2 overall mark, Sooby has helped lead Millsaps to its best record since 2000.

Sooby currently ranks second in the league in shutouts (six) and is fourth in total saves (79) and saves-per-game (5.27).

She is the first Major to receive a conference award this season and the first to gain recognition since Callie Roth was named the Co-Offensive Player of the Week in 2005 (Week 10).
