St.LOUIS – University of Evansville sophomore goalkeeper Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) notched another honor in a breakout season on Tuesday, being named the MVC Goalkeeper of the Week for the third time this year, the league office announced. Lammers earns the honor after posting 12 saves and allowing only one goal across two matches this week, including a career-high seven save performance in Thursday’s 2-0 win over Northern Iowa.
Lammers led Evansville to a crucial victory over the Panthers, posting her fifth shutout of the year while facing 21 shots, the second-most she has faced in a match this season. On Sunday at Drake, Lammers tallied five saves on 11 shots faced, moving her season saves total to 45.
Lammers has been one of the top goalkeepers in the country this year, ranking 40th in the country in save percentage (.833) and 57th nationally in goals against average (0.82). Her three MVC Goalkeeper of the Week awards are the most by a Valley keeper this season and marks the first time an Evansville keeper has been named MVC Goalkeeper three times in a single season since Simone Busby 2014.
Evansville wraps up the regular season on Thursday, hosting Valparaiso at Arad McCutchan Stadium. The Purple Aces look to punch their ticket to the MVC Tournament against the Beacons, needing a win or a UIC tie or loss to earn a spot in the six-team bracket. Kick-off on Thursday is set for 1 PM.
