BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — For the second time in three weeks, Auburn’s Maddie Prohaska has been voted the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday.
The goalkeeper from West Chester, Ohio added two more clean sheets to her resume over the weekend in Auburn’s 6-0 win at South Alabama and 3-0 win against App State. Prohaska made three saves, upping her career total to 266.
Prohaska also picked up an assist in the App State victory, serving a free kick from midfield into the box for sophomore Dylan Driver to put away.
Now sitting on 29 career shutouts, Prohaska trails Megan Rivera’s program record by four. She also sits in a four-way tie for seventh all-time in league history alongside Georgia’s Nicole Williams, South Carolina’s Sabrina D’Angelo and Florida’s Kaylan Marckese.
The weekly honor is the fifth of Prohaska’s career. She and the Tigers return to competition Thursday, Sept. 5, as they travel to Birmingham for a match with Samford at 6 p.m. CT.
