DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Heather Martin, Texas State
GK, Sophomore, Midlothian, Texas
Heather Martin helped Texas State go 2-0 on the road this past weekend with wins at Little Rock and ULM to earn her seventh and eight victories between the posts this season. Against the Warhawks, the sophomore needed to make just one save to record her fifth consecutive shutout that tied the school record set in 2001. She followed with a career-high tying eight-save performance against the Trojans. She came up with a big save on a penalty kick in the first half to become the first TXST goalkeeper to stop a penalty kick since Oct. 5, 2012 against San Jose State and breaking a skid of nine consecutive makes by opponents. Martin's sixth save of the match was the 100th of her career as she became the eighth Bobcat ever to reach the mark. In SBC matches, the Midlothian, Texas native leads the conference in GAA (0.49) and is second in save percentage (.886).
