ATLANTA – Madi Card of Georgia State women’s soccer was named Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday afternoon.
Card earned back-to-back shutouts against two of the league's top teams in Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina last week, helping the Panthers win four consecutive conference matches for the first time since 2003.
The Washington, D.C., native notched a season-high nine saves and shutout an App State team on Friday that entered the contest ranked third in the conference in goals scored and held the Mountaineers without a goal for just the second time in their last six matches.
