LINDSBORG – Kansas Wesleyan University Women’s Soccer goalkeeper Kelli Beatty has been named as the KCAC Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts in two wins last week for the Lady Coyotes.

It marks the third time Beatty has earned the honor this season.

In two matches this week, Beatty had only one save and no goals allowed in 180 minutes. Against Friends in a 6-0 win and shutout for Beatty, she had no saves in no shots on goal. Against McPherson, Beatty went the distance in goal, facing just one shot on goal and having one save as the Lady Coyotes shutout the Lady Bulldogs 3-0, handing McPherson its first KCAC loss of the season.

For the season, KWU has only allowed five goals, one in KCAC play. Beatty is a perfect 13-0 in goal and has recorded six shutouts. In KCAC play, she has recorded three shutouts and has yet to allow a goal.

Kansas Wesleyan sports a KCAC-best 5-0 record in conference play and is 13-1 overall. The Lady Coyotes are ranked No.1 in NAIA Region IV and continue to receive votes in the latest NAIA National Poll.

The Lady Coyotes are back in action on Wednesday as they host Ottawa in a 6:00 p.m. kickoff at Martin Stadium.
