APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University women’s soccer standout Patsy Kealey was named the Midwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week following a pair of stellar performances.
A senior goalkeeper, Kealey (New Rochelle, N.Y./Ursuline) earned her second shutout of the season and turned in another standout performance during the week. For the two matches last week, Kealey made 22 saves, posted a 0.50 goals against average and a .957 save percentage.
Kealey made 11 saves in Lawrence’s 2-0 victory over UW-Stevens Point on Sept. 16. Kealey made several outstanding saves and helped Lawrence to its first victory over the Pointers since 1989.
In a 1-0 loss to Carroll University on Sept. 19, Kealey stopped 11 shots and made several spectacular saves. She stopped two shots at point-blank range and made a pair of leaping saves where she deflected the ball over the crossbar.
On the season, Kealey has a 1.09 GAA and .906 save percentage.
Lawrence returns to action on Tuesday when it travels to Wisconsin Lutheran College for a nonconference match.
