DALLAS (SMU) - SMU goalkeeper Ashley Gunter earned two shutouts over the weekend in 2-0 SMU wins over Rice and Houston and was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week.
The junior from Lancaster, Penn, had 11 saves in the victories, including a save on a penalty kick against Houston that preserved SMU's 1-0 lead.
The 2006 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and 2007 Hermann Trophy nominee now has four shutouts this season and 22 in her career, tying her with former SMU netminder Kim Kyle for third place on the all-time SMU shutouts list.
This is her first Player of the Week honor this season, and the second of her career.
The Mustangs (7-7-1) close out the regular season with a pair of home games at Westcott Field, at 7 p.m. Friday against Tulsa and at 1 p.m. Sunday against North Texas. For a complete schedule and ticket information, log on to SMUMustangs.com.
