KIMBERLY POLASEK OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a junior midfielder from Houston, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, October 13th through Sunday, October 19th.

Polasek led third-ranked Trinity to a pair of SCAC wins over the weekend, defeating Schreiner on the road, and winning a home game against Texas Lutheran.

Polasek and the Tiger defense yielded just one shot over the two games, nabbing a shutout at Schreiner in which the team didn't allow a shot. On Sunday against Texas Lutheran, Polasek scored a goal in each half - including the game's first goal in the second minute of play.

For the season, Polasek has recorded two goals and four assists for the Tigers, and she has helped lead a Trinity defense to 10 shutouts in 16 games played. 

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Junior goalkeeper Franchesca Lozoya of Austin College posted a clean sheet in the 'Roos only match last week, making three saves in a 2-0 victory over Centenary. Freshman goalkeeper Elena Naccari of Dallas allowed one goal in a 5-1 win over Centenary on Friday. The rookie continues a solid season debut collecting her fifth win and also nabbed a save in the triumph. She has started the last eight matches, all in conference, and helped the Lady Crusaders secure sole possession of second in the standings. Centenary, Schreiner, Southwestern, and Trinity did not nominate anyone.
