University of Southern Indiana freshman goalkeeper Maya Etienne (Midland, Michigan) was named the GLVC Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Eagles to a weekend sweep in league action. The Player of the Week Award is the first of Etienne’s career and the third of the season for USI.

Etienne started the week with a shutout of Southwest Baptist University, 1-0, making five saves after facing 10 shots. She finished the week with her second road shutout with a 1-0 win over Drury University, making another two saves after facing eight shots.

For the season, Etienne has a 7-2-0 record and a 0.46 goals against average during her first collegiate season. She also has six shutouts and made 41 saves, allowing only four goals in nine matches.

The Eagles (7-2-0, 5-2-0 GLVC) and Etienne return to the road this weekend when they travel to William Jewell College October 11 for a 5 p.m. match in Liberty, Missouri, and Rockhurst University October 13 for a noon match in Kansas City, Missouri.
