Goalkeeper makes saves

that earn Big 12 awards

For the second week in a row, senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn has been named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

Quinn helped her team win two games over the weekend; a 1-0 shutout over Iowa State on Sunday, and a 3-1 victory over Nebraska on Friday in which she made ten saves. Quinn has started all 19 games this season, and has a 1.42 goals against average. She also has a .770 save percentage, and has four shutouts on her record so far.

The back-to-back honor is the second time in a row that the Kansas soccer team has earned it. Last season, junior Julie Hanley was awarded Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 15 and Oct. 22.
