Junior Chelsea King of Marian University women’s soccer has earned NACC Defensive Player of the Week recognition for the first time this season.

King (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) had a busy pair of matches finishing with 26 total saves.  King opened her week making seven saves and allowing only two goals against Lawrence.  She then set a Marian NACC-era single-game record against No. 16 Loras stopping 19 shots.  King only allowed two goals against the nationally-ranked Duhawks to give her a .867 save percentage between the two games.

This is the sixth NACC Defensive Player of the Week in her career.
