Defensive Player of the Week
Sara Yeselavage / So / Penn State Harrisburg / Harrisburg, Pa. / Central Dauphin
Sara Yeselavage was the defensive catalyst for Penn State Harrisburg in a pair of shutout victories to begin the season. In a 5-0 season-opening win on Saturday afternoon, the center back turned away all potential comers and kept Albright from getting off a single shot. In a 4-0 victory over Goucher two days later, the sophomore continued to make life easy on goalkeeper Macenzie Mulholland by stifling the Gophers offense to the tune of just one shot on goal. Thanks to her efforts, Penn State Harrisburg allowed just three total attempts and just one shot on frame across the pair of shutout wins.
This marks the first ever weekly United East award for Yeselavage.
