Oklahoma City, Okla. -- After posting her conference-leading sixth and seventh shutouts this past week, goalkeeper Melissa Dobie has been named the Sooner Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced today. 

Dobie, a junior from Edmond, Okla., allowed only goal in 270 minutes in the net in the three matches.  The lone goal she allowed came in a 1-0 setback at USAO last Tuesday (Oct. 11). 

She then swatted away nine shots in a 3-0 win over Lubbock Christian last Thursday (Oct. 13) and then made five more saves in a 4-0 rout of Wayland Baptist on Saturday (Oct. 15).

In addition to her shutout tally, Dobie is tied for second in the SAC in goals-against-average (0.73) and tied for third in saves (64).

Dobie and Lady Evangels are 10-2-1 on the season, with a 5-1-1 mark in the SAC, with an 11 match home winning streak.  They will host John Brown on Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 19) at 2 p.m. at Evangel Field.
