CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UNC Asheville redshirt-sophmore goalkeeper Keller Dixon has been named the Big South Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.
Dixon helped provide two clean sheets to lift Asheville to back to back Big South triumphs last week. Dixon compiled six saves on 15 shots in the Bulldogs' victory over Presbyterian College last Wednesday. The goalkeeper followed this performance with another 1-0 shutout over High Point on Saturday, in which she had four saves.
“This is a great recognition for Keller's performance in the two games this week. I thought she showed great leadership in both games and stayed connected to her backline well. She was rock solid for us and very deserving of being named defensive player of the week.”– Head Coach, Michelle Demko
Dixon and the Bulldogs return to action Wednesday night at Greenwood Field to take on Gardner-Webb at 7:00pm.
