CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Gardner-Webb junior goalkeeper Chelsea Hearne has received the Big South Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week honor for games played August 23rd-29th, as announced today by the League office.
Hearne earned her defensive accolade as she had six saves in 110 minutes of play in a double overtime tie with East Tennessee State this past Friday evening. ETSU had several chances to score, taking a total of 20 shots throughout the match, yet none were able to get past the Tampa, Fla. native. After two matches this season, Hearne has yet to allow a goal with a total of nine saves as the Runnin' Bulldogs are currently 1-0-1.
Also nominated for Defensive Player of the Week award were Casey Bolduc of Charleston Southern. Che' Brown of Radford, and LaCreshia Page of VMI.
Gardner-Webb returns to action tonight as they travel to USC Upstate. The match is set to begin at 7:00 PM at County University Soccer Stadium. Live stats for tonight's match can be found at http://livestats.prestosports.com/uscupstate/.
