Omaha, Neb. -- Creighton freshman Maddie Radke collected the first weekly honor of the season for Bluejay women's soccer, earning BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, Aug. 23.
Radke helped the Bluejays open the 2021 season with a pair of victories last week, delivering assists in each win. The Colorado native was a critical part of the Bluejay defense, holding Montana and Drake to just 15 total shots in just under 200 minutes on the pitch. The defensive unit's prowess allowed the offense to out shoot its opposition by a combined 41-15, including 20-6 on goal.
