Lindsay Euers Named SCAC Player of the Week

San Antonio - Lindsay Euers, a first-year defensive midfielder from Austin, Texas (Bowie), has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.

Euers spearheaded a staunch Tiger defense which helped Trinity earn a pair of tough home wins over Centre and DePauw last weekend. Trinity beat its SCAC rivals by scores of 2-1, allowing only 10 total shots in the two games.

The 5-foot-5 Euers has started all 11 games for Trinity, and the defense has given up just three goals this season, posting eight shutouts.

Trinity – undefeated at 11-0-0 and 4-0-0 SCAC - is now ranked No. 4 in the nation by both NCAA Division III polls. The Tigers rose to fourth in the National Soccer Coaches Association rankings, from sixth, and improved in the d3soccer.com poll from No. 5.

The Tigers will host Southwestern University in an SCAC game at 6 p.m. Saturday.
