EIDSON NAMED C-USA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Junior defender Kaitlyn Eidson was named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week after netting three of the team's four goals, including two game-winners, in victories over C-USA rivals UTEP and Colorado College. Eidson is in the middle of a three-game goal streak (4 goals) and has scored the game-winner in each of the past three contests for SMU. Eidson has taken just five shots on the season, four of which have been on frame. She leads the team in goals (4), points (8) and game-winning goals (3).
MUSTANGS DOWN COLORADO COLLEGE
SMU defeated Colorado College 3-1 Oct. 10 at Westcott Field. Eidson opened the scoring with a header just 1:20 in after a corner kick. Eidson added a second goal in the 72nd minute when she headed in a corner kick from Lauren Shepherd. In the 84th minute, sophomore Shelby Hartweck added insurance for the Mustangs when she shot the ball into the far upper 90 for her third goal of the season.
SMU SHUTS OUT UTEP
SMU downed UTEP 1-0 Friday night at Westcott Field. Eidson headed in a goal in just the ninth minute of play on a cross from defender Courtney Smith. The goal was Eidson's second of the season, second game-winner and second in as many games. The win was the third consecutive victory for the Mustangs and third consecutive clean sheet.
NO GOAL FOR YOU!
Junior Courtney Webb picked up her personal-best seventh shutout of the year Oct. 8 against UTEP. Through 15 games this season, Webb is 9-4-2 with a 0.77 goals-against average and a .842 save percentage.
MARSHA, MARSHA, MARSHALL!
SMU shutout Marshall 2-0 Oct. 3. Eidson got SMU on the board with a goal in the 69th minute. Hartweck found a loose ball and crossed it to Eidson who buried the eventual game-winner. The goal was Eidson's first of the season. Hartweck added a goal of her own in the 81st minute of play when she sent the ball just inside the far past after collecting it on an attempted clear on a corner kick. The goal was Hartweck's second tally of the year. Webb made four stops on the afternoon to earn the shutout.
