ATHENS, Ga. – Following a shutout victory against Tennessee, junior goalkeeper Jordan Brown was named Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
Monday's honor marks the second Defensive Player of the Week honor for Brown, who was previous recognized on Aug. 19 following a shutout of Pitt. She was also named SEC Freshman of the Week twice during the 2022 season.
Brown helped the Bulldogs earn a 2-0 win over the Lady Vols Friday evening, stifling the Tennessee attack with six saves, including a diving save in the final minutes to preserve her clean sheet of the year. The Las Vegas native now has 95 saves on the season and ranks fifth all-time in program history with 19 shutouts. She also leads the league in saves per game and total saves, while ranking second in save percentage – all three rank in the top 20 nationally as well.
Brown and her Bulldog teammates close out SEC road play this Thursday against No. 11 Auburn at 7:30 p.m. EDT before heading home for the regular season finale against No. 24 Texas on Sunday at 4 p.m. EDT in Athens. Both matches will stream live on SEC Network+.
