Defensive Player of the Week
Katie Brown / Jr / Penn State Harrisburg / Enola, Pa. / East Pennsboro HS
Katie Brown led a Penn State Harrisburg defensive unit that recorded a pair of shutouts last week and did not allow a single shot across the victories. In addition to anchoring a back line that did not allow a single attempt in wins over Penn State Brandywine and St. Elizabeth, the center back netted her first goal of the season in a victory over the former on Tuesday before adding an assist in the win over the latter on Saturday afternoon. Thanks to Brown's efforts, the Lions have not conceded a goal in their last four contests.
This is the first Player of the Week award for Brown who is a two-time First Team All-Conference award winner in addition to a Third Team All-Region honor in 2023.
