UVA field hockey redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Hausheer (West Windsor, N.J.) has been named the ACC Defensive Player of the Week.
Hausheer made a career high eight saves in goal as the No. 6 Cavaliers pushed No. 4 Maryland through double-overtime on the road before coming up on the short end of a shootout on Friday. For the second week in a row, she made a save on a stroke attempt, this one coming during the second overtime period. Hausheer added two saves – both in the fourth quarter – as Virginia blanked Yale by a 3-0 score on Sunday.
Hausheer leads the ACC with a .839 save percentage and 4.33 saves per game.
This is the first player of the week honor for Hausheer in her career and the first time this season a Cavalier has earned the conference’s weekly accolade.
