MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – After helping the No. 1 West Virginia University women’s soccer team earn its 12th shutout of the season, sophomore defender Easther Mayi Kith has been named the WVU Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by University Apartments.
A native of Quebec City, Quebec, Mayi Kith and the WVU defense held Oklahoma State to just four shots, one on-goal, en route to a 3-0 victory on Oct. 28 in the team’s regular-season finale. Mayi Kith denied the Big 12 Conference’s top point earner and goal scorer, Cowgirl Courtney Dike, a shot.
The clean sheet was the team’s eighth straight, and WVU is the first program in Big 12 history to post a season shutout in league play.
