Ames' Efforts Earn Her WCC Co-Player of the Week
Oct. 6, 2008
SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Gonzaga University women’s soccer sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Ames was named the West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Week after posting two shutouts this past weekend. She shares the award with the University of Portland’s Haley Kreminski. The Albuquerque, N.M. native earns her first career weekly honor after she turned away seven shots in the 0-0 tie at Idaho State University on Friday and made a career-high 12 saves in the Bulldogs’ scoreless draw at Weber State University Sunday. Her fourth and fifth shutouts of the season place her third on Gonzaga's all-time shutout list with seven in just her second year in net for the Zags. Ames enters this week’s match against #3 Portland tied for second in the WCC in shutouts (5) and third in saves (57) and GAA (1.03). The Bulldogs (5-6-2) open WCC play with a three-game home stand beginning Sunday at 1 p.m. against the Pilots.
