KRISTEN CANEPA OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a junior defender from Westlake Village, Calif., has been selected the SCAC Women’s Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played the week of Monday, September 24th to Sunday, September 30th.

Canepa led Trinity to road shutout victories against Schreiner, Austin College, and Dallas last week. Canepa and the Tiger defense extended the team’s shutout streak to seven consecutive games, allowing just 10 total shots over the three games and just two of those were on-target attempts.

On the week Severson collected 19 saves and allowed just three goals. Senior defender Lindsey Fitz of Schreiner scored a goal and anchored a backline that posted a shutout in the Mountaineers 2-0 victory over Austin College last week.
